They’d need 14 GOP votes. The filibuster still applies for SCOTUS nominations. Even with the expected takeover by the dems in the Senate this year, reaching 60 votes would be an extremely tall order.

Harry Reid (or Schumer) would simply suspend the filibuster again, as they did in the 2014 lame duck, when they packed the Circuit Courts with leftists, which now will come home to roost, with a 4-4 SCOTUS
