Hello Everybody,

Without a quorum, no business can be conducted.
End of lesson. However, in Trumpworld, with Leningrad
Lindsey and Moscow Mitch at the helm, rules don't
matter. All the orange toad needs is a room full
of cheaters, all of the same color.

Democrats boycotted, and with none present, Trump's
sycophants had their way, sending the handmaid to the
full senate for a confirmation vote.

Rules? There are no rules. Just ask the moderator,
who is nowhere to be found.

Rules of Procedure United States
Senate Committee on the Judiciary


III. QUORUMS

1. Seven Members of the Committee, actually present, shall constitute a
quorum for the purpose of discussing business. Nine Members of the
Committee, including at least two Members of the minority, shall
constitute a quorum for the purpose of transacting business. No bill,
matter, or nomination shall be ordered reported from the Committee,
however, unless a majority of the Committee is actually present at the
time such action is taken and a majority of those present support the
action taken.

IV. BRINGING A MATTER TO A VOTE

The Chairman shall entertain a non-debatable motion to bring a matter
before the Committee to a vote. If there is objection to bring the
matter to a vote without further debate, a roll call vote of the
Committee shall be taken, and debate shall be terminated if the motion
to bring the matter to a vote without further debate passes with twelve
votes in the affirmative, one of which must be cast by the minority.

Of course, there is a remedy for all this nonsense.
All President Biden will have to do is nominate a few justices
of his own. Starting with Katie Porter, and Barack Obama.
And not even bother with Senate hearings. After all, Moscow
Mitch said he doesn't like them.
