Also, note that while everyone was looking at the squirrel, Flake voted to move it out of committee.

Flake could have moved it out of committee with a "yes" vote.

If there was some committee quorum rule preventing that, then the Republicans on the committee could have changed the rule.

Beyond that, Mitch doesn't need a committee vote to move the vote to the floor.

Flake isn't doing us any favors and he isn't on our side.

Flake did vote YES & the committee forwarded the confirmation to the entire Senate floor with a majority vote of 11 FOR BK.

This 1 week delay is supposed to be BETWEEN the committee vote & the full Senate vote.
