"Senate Republicans have a 53 to 47 majority, and they abolished the filibuster for Supreme Court nominations in 2017. They can confirm a new justice even if they lose three of their own members and win zero Democrats (in which case, Vice President Mike Pence would cast the tie-breaking vote.)"Why can't they confirm if they lose six Republicans? That would be 47 to 47, and Pence casts the tie breaking vote.

You have to have 51 votes.
