A filibuster on judicial appointment is a different matter. The Constitution makes it clear that the "Advise and Consent" clause requires only a majority of the Senators present is sufficient to approve a judicial (or other) presidential appointment. Applying the filibuster to that violates the Constitution, by increasing the vote margin from 51 votes to 60 votes.
Don't get caught up in the idea -- which the Democrats are peddling -- that ending the filibuster for legislation will happen if the filibuster is ended for judicial nominations. That is flat-out false. Both methods of freeing the judicial nominations leave the filibuster untouched with respect to ordinary legislation.

Then why can't the Republicans have most in chambers and then just voice vote? I have hear the Dems do that and not sure if a quorum was even there.
