- Call them and keep up the pressure then. They have been getting a flood of calls these past few days and notably have started to really up thier action in turn
  
  I expect absolutely nothing from them, and they get nothing at all from me but a vote.

About fucking time!
Next do Quorum Calls and stop allowing unanimous consent, slow things to a fucking crawl. Make that "parliamentarian" they values so much when it stoped progress work their ass off having to make calls about every pointless process there is.
- Some dems have recently pledged to block unanimous consent for nominations, but I haven't heard about quorum calls
  Call your senators and tell them that to do that if either/both are dems! They've been starting to put up a lot more of a fight recently after more and more people have been calling
  If either/both are Republicans, call them and tell them to vote no for the nominees
