McConnell should change the rules that only 49 senators and the vice president are needed to confirm judges.

I was thinking the same think. But...

The Constitution requires a majority of senators (51) for a quorum. So I don't think that the VP counts toward that total.

If one senator calls in sick the number for a quorum decreases by one. But I’m just grabbing for straws.
