Yes happens all the time. Those not present are merely marked down as abstaining unless they have provided their vote ahead of time, which many of those who "walk out" will have done.
There is a minimum necessary requirement in order for the session to form a quorum, which is just a fancy way to say starting a meeting. Since this is a committee vote and just for a formal recommendation, they can hold it even if the Democrats refuse to participate.

'my calendar is right here' is right up there with 'I have folders with many women'
The mambo no 5 defense. I saw Kavanuagh open with that yesterday. I was like is Lou Vega going to be on the Supreme Court?

As a former criminal, I and everyone I knew always made sure our crimes were clearly recorded in our personal calendars at our home desks, for posterity's sake.

Ironically the binders full of woman thing was “real”.
Oh I never thought he was lying, it was just a super stupid / awkward thing to say.

Sometimes, I like to imagine someone putting birdseed in front of Ted Cruz and in mid sentence, he stops talking and starts violently pecking at it.

Ted Cruz is right about the "through the Jersey Lenses" about how we all view it.

Like is there any senator that doesn't have a Law Degree?

Several it’s just traditional that the majority of politicians at the federal level have legal backgrounds.
Here’s a list:

It is a pretty worthless thread when you think about it. Most post opinions and state them as fact without proof. No one here is going to be swayed by anything anyone says. It is a thread full of gotcha comments and partisan slop.
Blah, to much dirty politics is getting to me.

The only people who are intelligent are people who think like me, so I like to go to a place where I can mock and completely dismiss anything that opposes my already set-in-stone viewpoints.
