From the article:

Under Judiciary Committee rules, 12 members have to be present in order to report a nomination to the floor — a requirement Republicans can meet on their own if every GOP senator is present.

But the rules also require two members of the minority party to be present in order to transact business.

The rules can be changed by a simple majority.

I read last week that Mitch could “pull” the nomination to the floor without a committee vote.

Can anyone else confirm?

Just suspend the rules, isn’t that what NAZI PELOUSY did for OBUNGHOLE CARE?

Don’t see why they can’t do the same in the Senate.
