The Committee vote on Hagel is tomorrow. After that there will be holds.

“I think people will line up to put holds on him once he hits the floor,” one senior GOP aide said.

The aide said that while there have been a host of occasions where nominations were held to a 60-vote threshold, far fewer cabinet level posts have been forced to meet that threshold. Indeed, a cabinet nomination has never been successfully blocked by filibuster.

Inhofe told the National Review Monday that he would insist on a 60-vote threshold for Hagel.

“Hagel may be passed out of the committee, but it’s going to be a long, long time before he hits the floor,” Inhofe said. “We’re going to need as much time as possible, and there are going to be several of us who will have holds.”
