Do you not know the difference between cloture and confirmation?Republican George H W Bush
Thomas, Clarence 52-48 Oct 15, 1991
What happened to needing 60 votes?
Republican George W. Bush
Alito, Samuel A., Jr. 58-42 Jan 31, 2006
Again, why no 60 votes needed?
Republican Donald Trump
(because Mitch McConnell nuked the supreme court filibuster)
Barrett, Amy Coney 52-48 Oct 26, 2020
Kavanaugh, Brett 50-48 Oct 6, 2018
Gorsuch, Neil M. 54-45 Apr 7, 2017
Not a single nominee even came close to getting 60 votes
Plessy was decided 7-1I know. Like Plessy. Or Dred Scott.
Wrong again. Very wrong.
His numbers are right. California has 55 electors, and Montana has 3
You can google it.

Plessy was decided 7-1
Brown overturned it by a 9-0 vote.
An example of how cases should be overturned, by a bigger majority the other way.
BTW, Dred Scott was never overturned. It's conclusions are still valid.
Republicans controlled the Senate.Um...removing the filibuster IS changing the rules!
And it's funny how you neglected to point out McConnell's blazing hypocrisy by refusing to confirm Garland because it was a presidential election year, and yet he confirmed TWO judges in the next presidential election year.
So, yeah. It's McConnell's fault. Bigly.
It means democrats voted to bring the nomination up for a vote, while republicans didn't. Republicans routinely fillibustered or blue slipped judicial nominees of democrats, even when they later got overwhelming support.Do you not know the difference between cloture and confirmation?
You need 60 votes to end debate on the confirmation proceedings and to bring the confirmation to a vote.
And you'll notice many more Republicans voted for Democrats confirmations than vice versa.
Republicans routinely fillibustered or blue slipped judicial nominees of democrats, even when they later got overwhelming support.
If you want to play semantics, you should say that california has 52 electors due to their population and Montana has 0.His numbers are right. California has 55 electors, and Montana has 3
California has 53 electors because of their population and Montana has 1.
Regardless, it's a wash...Rhode Island has a million population and four electors in 2020.Wrong again. Very wrong.

Delaware, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Hawaii...small states, low population, three to four delegates.
What supreme court justice other than Garland did the Republicans not vote for cloture?It means democrats voted to bring the nomination up for a vote, while republicans didn't. Republicans routinely fillibustered or blue slipped judicial nominees of democrats, even when they later got overwhelming support.
And as for republicans voting for democratic nominees, it's because democrats nominated centralist nominees. Where republicans nominated judges who wanted to overturn roe v wade.

It's no different than in sports. If a team beats another team 7-1 you would say they were clearly the better team.But stability and whims........

Since the contract with AmericaWhen?
You're just tapdancin' now.It's no different than in sports. If a team beats another team 7-1 you would say they were clearly the better team.
If the other team in a rematch wins 6-3 you would say the first team was still better, the second team just got lucky.
But if the second team come back and beats them 9-0 you would say they were clearly better.
Brown came back to trounce Plessy, so there was no question which was the better dcecision.
Dobbs was not a clear victory. And required nominees to purposefully deceive the senate about their not having an opinion on what would clearly be an upcoming case.
