I think it has to go to the floor of the senate where the lackeys will have a chance to have their say, before the actual vote on the 26th?
From the article: "After Sunday's (Judiciary Committee) vote, Barrett's nomination would still face an additional 30 hours of debate. That would allow for a final vote to confirm Barrett to the Supreme Court as soon as Oct. 26."
Sounds like the "30 hours of debate" is a procedural requirement?

It sure isn't a constitutional requirement.
Long past due. Just confirm her and be done.
Schumer has been trying every delaying tactic in the book. Yesterday he tried to adjourn the senate until after the election.
The Dims need time to find create the evidence of wrongdoing during her kindergarten years, just like C. B. Ford's letter came out at the very last minute, delaying Kavanaugh's confirmation. Didn't Chucky Schumer also require an additional FBI investigation quite late in that process?
I believe the full senate vote on oct 26 was the schedule from the start.
Send democrats home and then confirm her ASAP.

If that is the case, why? The confirmation should have been completed two weeks ago IMO.
Agree that it should already be done.
The confirmation will happen soon enough, all a formality really. By the same token, EVERY nominee isn't a foregone conclusion, setting aside time for debate on a lifetime appointment seems prudent to say the least. The outcome will be the same either way THIS time, but it isn't always the case, exceptions to protocol put us on a slippery slope to a lack of oversight.

Almost nothing about the confirmation process is.

Right, Specific rules, and procedures are set by the Senate itself not the Constitution, just ask Dingy Harry.
The judiciary Committee has a rule that allows any member to delay the Committee vote by a week, they did, and that would be tomorrow!
Sending it to the full Senate for consideration...
Do not forget -- this is an FBI investigation of a Lib--- don't hold your breath--
"very possible", "as soon as", "rare weekend session"...
Sound like Republicans to you all?
F'in rinos.
Timing is everything as the old adage goes. Timing also has an important significance with this particular confirmation.
The confirmation hearing will occur on Hillary Clinton's birthday.lol
