re: #464 Targetpractice
IF Flake changes his vote, then I’m not sure where we go from there. Technically Yertle could decide to say “Fuck it” and bring the nomination to the full Senate, but without the committee’s recommendation it’s pretty much a guarantee he doesn’t have the votes.
That’s what they did with Bork. Bork was sunk in committee but the Reagan team pulled s damn the torpedos, full speed ahead and flopped.
