The Constitution does not give the Vice-President the authority to rule on what is Constitutional and what is not.



Do you really think the Court would take a case to decide who has authority to make rulings within the Senate rules, etc. I don't think they would. It's not a matter of Constitutionally but rather how the Senates rules will be enforced, imo.

No, but if the Vice-President rules that filibustering judicial nominations is unconstitutional then you can expect the court to take it up in a heart-beat. He doesn't have that authority.
