Why should there be unilateral, for not valid reason related to the appointment, holds at all? I have not researched the issue, but I believe it to be a "courtesy" the Senate extends to its members, but I have no idea why, or when or how it developed. And, if I am right, I could imagine none of the 100 wanting to give up a perk.

The general idea originally was a rule requiring unanimous consent to consider bills on the floor so that Senators be consulted and be allowed to take time to study bills that affect their state or in which they take a strong interest. It didnтАЩt start to be abused in this way until the 70s.
Thanks, another good idea raped by a single jerk. Perhaps all that is needed is a time limit to "study the bill". Even a brain-wonder like Coach should be able to figure it out n less than 5 months.
Next thought: Perhaps a time limit to allow for studying the bills of interest should be instituted. Even a brain wonder like Coach should not need five months to decide if he wants to approve an appointment.
