Can McConnell put this to vote to the full Senate, even if the Committee does not have 11 ‘yes’ votes? Can he do so, regardless of whether Flake goes ‘present’ or ‘no’?

I have read of nominations being brought to the full Senate that failed in committee, or had a tie vote.

I have read that, and - given that the filibuster is RIP, that makes sense to me.

And, given the fact that Democrats can pull “Anita Hill” stunts ’til the cows come home, time’s awasting. Do it, and do it ASAP.
