When McConnell killed the filibuster of Supreme Court nominees, the new
51-vote margin (rather than 60) only applies if a majority of the
Judiciary Committee approves the nominee. However under the 50-50
Senate, there an equal number of Democrats and Republicans on the
committee. Thus if McConnell wants to block any of Biden's nominees, he
can do so.

Only if the Republicans stick together.

Even if Biden appears at risk of losing Sinema or Manchin, there are
three Republicans who voted for more than 80% of Biden's judicial
nominees so far, according to FiveThirtyEight. They are Sens. Lindsey
Graham, R-S.C., Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska.

Only Graham from among those is on the judiciary committee. The issue is a Biden nominee might not be reported out of the committee because of the 10-10 split.

All three have long supported the idea that senators should deeply
research judicial nominees but generally give deference to the
president's picks.

I believe he will get his black woman Supreme Court Justice.

Obviously the Senate can't approve a nominee this close to an
election.

This is the only chance Biden may get because Democrats cut their own legs
off behaving like fools and declaring their bigoted racism should be the
sole criteria for a sitting SCOTUS justice. It's just another communist attempt to destroy the US Republic.

Republicans can delay the nuts Biden nominates until the House, Senate and Presidency are returned to them. Trump might get to appoint a 4th
justice, possibly 5th if that stupid moron Sotomayor opts to kill herself.

Democrats have nobody but themselves to blame.

They put a racist queer named Obama in the Whitehouse, now they want to
put a racist black white male hater on SCOTUS.

On further review, it looks like I was wrong.

The committee is divided 11-11 and you still need 60 votes to approve a
nominee if committee rejects them. However as part of the agreement establishing the 11-11 split, the full Senate can with 51 votes
discharge the committee from considering the nomination if the vote is
11-11.

So, you need 60 votes to confirm if a majority of the committee votes
against the nominee. You need 51 votes to confirm if a majority votes in
favor. And, you need 51 votes in a separate, preceding vote to ignore
the committee when they tie 11-11, followed by 51 votes to confirm.

So any black woman nominee from Biden means Democrats are "declaring
their bigoted racism"? Only in right-wing la la land.

McConnell is smart enough to know if he puts up a fight against this
nominee it'll mean more black Dem voters turning out this fall than in
the Obama elections. So many that it will overcome all the Republican
election rigging going on now.

It's just another communist attempt to destroy the US Republic.

Whatever you say Bircher boy. But it's your side that's cozying up to
Putin who wants to bring back the old USSR.
