One vote isn't going to make a difference for a controversial nominee. In fact, a one vote majority in the senate doesn't mean much beyond the power to subpoena and harass executive branch employees.

Wouldn't it switch committee rolls to people actually get an up or down vote?

You don't want to wish anyone ill, but, this is truly an odd situation.

Actually one vote would be the difference!!!
Schumer has said they wont allow another Roberts even out of the committee under democrat control.The one vote would be the difference in giving Republicans the judiciary committee back.

It's all about the control of the committees. After the power-sharing debacle, I would hope that the GOP doesn't fall for that again. A 50-50 Senate puts our side in control.
