re: #410 Eclectic Cyborg

Exactly how many Senators need to vote Nay to block a SCOTUS nominee? Can the GOP effectively shut things down with the majority they have or will they need some Dems to help them out?

One. McConnell can simply refuse to put the vote on the floor agenda.

If it gets to a vote I think it’s simple majority. So the GOP can reject a nominee on a straight party-line vote.
