Not quite certain of the totality of your statement. However, if you are referring to the 60 Vote Senate Rule, my concern is the Senatorial 60 vote Rule infringes on the Constitution. Our Constitution has no such 60 vote to pass provision. BUT “THE RULE imho INFRINGES ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL POWER OF THE VICE PRESIDENT who VOTES to break TIES.” (If you agree please pass it on and straighten out the entrenched swamp denizens) 60 votes = no pass or no tie.

Yes, you are correct on the Rule. Our problem is that with the objection of one US senator, in his own state, no circuit court nomination can go forward for consideration.

Two same state US senators just objected to one of Trump’s circuit court nominations. This means Trump will have to withdraw that nominee and submit another. Sorry I can’t remember which state. It was a blue state, of course.
