If there were consequences to their dragging their feet it would stop!

No doubt the SENATORS would rather get home for the SUPERBOWL WEEKEND than vote.

The Senate red tape is beyond imagination...

They are voting on cloture for these nominees.

The cloture rule–Rule 22–is the only formal procedure that Senate rules provide for breaking a filibuster. A filibuster is an attempt to block or delay Senate action on a bill or other matter. Under cloture, the Senate may limit consideration of a pending matter to 30 additional hours of debate.
