From “Breaking the Rules – The Framers intended no more than a Senate majority to approve judges”:
Many people question whether changing the rules to allow only a majority vote for confirmations is proper, or even constitutional. However, the text of the Constitution, the record of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, and Supreme Court decisions all concur to show that the Constitution intended no more than a majority “vote” for the Senate’s “Advice and Consent” for judicial appointments.What the Democrats lack in legal foundation or historical precedence, they make up for in petulance and demagoguery.
