This is what Tuberville did to the military promotions and it was quite effective (ly terrible). It forces formal votes on each candidate. I’m not certain it’ll slow things down for confirmations, but what else is there?
My guy. They're cutting big pieces out of the building we all live in, and they have a handgun at the ready if anyone tries to stop them, and they're drunk. And you're talking about "Well we're DEFINITELY going to talk about this at the next house meeting."
What else is there, to me, is file a writ with a federal judge asking for permission to use some specific authorized type of physical force to stop it, since it is illegal. Where things go from there, I have no idea, but "please don't, you can't" is a massive waste of time right now.
Edit: Actually, a better analogy is "big pieces out of the boat we're all on." You can leave and get a new building to live in.
