4. Shit. You have a point.
The MSM won't report this, and if they do, it'll be a little snippet.

7. We should asked the DEMS
who are going to be at the Gonzalez hearing, that under the circumstances they should postpone his confirmation hearing.

9. The DEM members
could ask for a postponement or just not show up. How many do they need for a quorum?

13. The rules are a little confusing
it sounds like they could hold the hearing but that they wouldn't be able to vote or doing anything about the nomination?


II. QUORUMS

1. Ten Members shall constitute a quorum of the Committee when reporting a bill or nomination; provided that proxies shall not be counted in making a quorum.

2. For the purpose of taking sworn testimony, a quorum of the Committee and each Subcommittee thereof, now or hereafter appointed, shall consist of one Senator.
