re: #557 Charles Johnson

Flake could have voted “no” and it could have still gone to the floor, a la Bork. I’m not sure what else he could have done to delay the committee vote… maybe support democrats in a vote to table the vote? If that would be allowed.

The one week delay may well be because they dont have the votes to confirm and they’re trying to whip votes

Or it may well be genuine. That’s a long shot because I don’t fucking trust any of them at this point. But listening on With Friends Like These and what Rick Wilson is saying, maybe the constituent objections are getting through, maybe a wife/daughter/sister is sharing a story
