Can you explain how that would bring the nominees out of committee? I don't know what the Senate rules are but I'd bet to get to the floor for a vote they have to come through the Committee. And unless the Senate reorganizes then Leahy will control the committee, won't he?

If I'm not mistaken, if Barkley cauceses with the Republicans like Jeffords does with the Democrats, it would mean a 50-50 split. With Cheney as the President of the Senate, that would throw the leadership to the Republicans.

Though I'm sure Daschle will try to block it.
