"Under committee rules, at least two members of the minority party must be present for a vote to take place. But on Thursday morning, with Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) the only Democrat in attendance, Graham moved forward with a motion setting Barrett's Judiciary Committee vote for 1:00 pm ET on October 22."

So rules are only rules if you chose to obey them? If you don't feel like it you just ignore the rules and apparently there are no consequences. We may has well have anarchy if that's how our government can conduct itself.
