The Senate Judiciary Committee held an executive business meeting to consider pending nominations and legislation on November 21, 2013. A quorum was not present, and the Committee was not able to complete action on pending matters. The meeting recessed subject to the call of the Chair.

When the Senate is in executive session, anyone (meaning the Majority Leader almost always) can file for a discharge of the nominee from the committee. It has to be voted on the next day and then debate can start on the nominee. It will be a chore, but not as frustrating as the filibuster was.
