The constitution allows the senate to create the rules for voting. If the majority agrees to those rules then its constitutional. The majority agreed that filibusters take 41 votes to close.
Welcome to fantasy land.

The majority (Republicans) did not agree to this rule, furthermore fillibusters do not take place when items are in committee. It is unprecedented and is unconstitutional for ANY Senate committe to fillibuster a judicial nomination. ANY
