But if 3 Republicans abstain, that would leave the vote at 50 - 47 and the nominee would be confirmed.

Indeed. I and a few others have been preaching this idea to the Freepers since Saturday. My view is we could have 6 GOP Senators abstain with Pence breaking a 47-47 tie.
It’s outrages that these two said no before even knowing who nominee is.
I expectd it from Murkowski she is a bought and paid for agent for PP.
Does Pence have any part in confirming a nominee, aside from procedural?
