Nope.

Not on the Supremes.

2/3’s are required.

BUT...it’s the only card Chucky holds. (though a high card)
All the repubs have to do is force him to give up that card.

If he wants to play in anything else for at least 2 years, he’ll need to give up that card.
Trump is good at painting the picture outside of the media.
He can paint Schumer (and the dems) as purely obstructionist.

Remember, the repubs played ball with the dems, for Kagan and Sotomayor.

Time to call those markers in,
If Schumer and company want to see any cushy committee seats.

There’s nothing magic about 60 votes for SC nominees. It’s a Senate rule, nothing more. It can be changed to a simple majority vote, by a simple majority vote.

Nope. The Constitution doesn’t say 2/3. It gives no number at all. The 2/3 number is for granting treaties.
