re: #278 Big Beautiful Door

Flake did something besides bloviate? That’s a pleasant surprise.

Color me skeptical. Flake has not to date shown any real courage when it comes to actual votes. Is it confirmed that Flake will be away most of August? And what is required to vote a nomination out of the judiciary committee? Can the Majority Leader bypass a tie vote and force a vote on the floor? If so, can’t Pence then cast the deciding vote to confirm?
