I fear you have yet to understand the advise and consent part of judge nominations.The dems broke tradition by not allowing a vote in the full senate on nominees that were approved by the committee.It takes 60 votes to overcome this ploy.We don't have 60 votes.

What don't I understand? It takes 60 votes to force cloture to any bill and force a vote in the Senate, not just judicial nominees.
