I am at the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections to see who will not have their nomination confirmed. Who's getting fired?

We are underway with only Senator Travis Hackworth absent. Senator Bill DeSteph is upset that the committee isn't waiting for the Virginia Supreme Court to rule and attempt to influence the court.
Senate Tara Durant asks "What will happen in the future to dissuade those who are willing to serve the Commonwealth in this capacity, and we can see now that it's becoming a lot more politicized. What is the goal that we're trying to accomplish?"
Senator Glen Sturtevant talks about how qualified the people appointed by Governor Youngkin to serve on college's Board of Visitor like a Republican official or the President of MasterCard.
The vote is in and the entire block of appointments are rejected by a party line vote. The Senate Clerk is on hand to communicate to the rejects to the Governor's office.
The Senate Clerk Susan Schaar reprimands @BradKutner for not being properly dressed in the Virginia Senate.
@BradKutner Senator Glen Sturtevant talks to reporters about the tradition of the Senate and doesn't like how this committee can reject Youngkin appointments.
