Cotton, thank you for pointing out that these Senators are not entitled to everything in the Executive Branch files just because they want it!!

I certainly saw some Democrat say: "We're going to vote on the nomination as soon as we get the information we want."

But they have no legitimate reason or need to want the names of people Bolton legitimately and ethically inquired about in the course of his duties at State (he's already been cleared by the Senate Intell. committee) so under those circumstances, you could technically call this "filibuster" a "procedural delay", but it looks more like "blackmail" to me!

I just wonder who wants this info., and why? Isn't Friday "conspiracy day"?? LOL!!

I think they want the info because it will lead to more info to want. You're right. A majority of the committee decided that they had enough information to allow the full senate to make a decision. But it seems that none of the senators (on either side)want to make a decision on anything. Instead of voting, they just vote not to vote. They don't realize how ridiculous that body looks sometimes.
