Huh. I thought it worked the same way for Supes as for District Court judges (like in the cases of Estrada and Pickering).

By the way, I'll put my "political judgment" up against yours any day if you think Hillary would get 67 votes, let alone 60.

I bet you were thinking of the number of votes normally required for cloture on a Senate fillibuster - usually 60 votes for three-fifths of 100 Senators. Okay.
