If ever there were a battle to be fought to the bitter end, this one would be it. However, I have little confidence in the RINOs in the Senate.

RE: How many votes are required for confirmation?

Senate confirmation requires a simple majority of 51% of those voting. Marco Rubio (yes I’m talking to you) and Ted Cruz better be present when this crucial vote comes along.

Can Congress reduce the number of SC Justices to 8 (or 7 and get rid of Kagan)?
