Judiciary Cmte is split 11-11 between the parties and, due to unanimous Republican opposition, Democrats need all their members to vote in order to send KBJ's nomination to the floor. Durbin says in an earlier day one minority member might vote present in a "pairing." Not today. — PolitiTweet.org

After every Judiciary Cmte senator speaks, Durbin takes the mic: "We have a problem." He says Sen. Alex Padilla's flight to DC had a medical emergency and forced him back to Los Angeles. He says Padilla will return this afternoon and committee can't vote on KBJ until he's back. — PolitiTweet.org

And so @SenatorDurbin recesses the Judiciary Committee, subject to call of the chair, and says they'll vote when @SenAlexPadilla returns. Once it deadlocks, Senate will move quickly to begin "discharging" the Jackson nomination to the floor for consideration. — PolitiTweet.org
