Sure - hold the hearing... but vote her down. This is a “run out the clock” situation, so I frankly don’t care who gets nominated. You know *some* whack-job will get a nod.

Just so long as nobody gets to the floor for a real vote.

The hearings should proceed with the same speed that Hillary has released her emails.

A committee vote is a recommendation. Once on the floor the nomination can be confirmed, even if voted out of committee with a negative recommendation. The key in this is not to let Obama logroll the full Senate vote, it is to never schedule confirmation hearings in the Judiciary Committee, so it never gets voted out (positively or negatively) of committee. If Obama sends a nomination over to the Senate, they have no obligation to do anything with it. See Miguel Estrada.
