51 Rs in the Senate. 47 Ds and 2 indies. Let's say McCain doesn't vote. All other Rs vote yea. Let's say the 47 and 2 vote nay. From what I know, Pence can only vote in case of a tie vote. Therefore, 50-49 won't get a vote from Pence so I surmise the vote would fail since you need a 50 plus 1 in order for the nomination to pass.

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong. I might be.


That's right. The VP is the tie-breaker in the Senate and he doesn't vote unless there is a tie.
