There's nothing unconstitutional about it.


The Constitution clearly says it is the highest law in the land.
The constitution gives the Senate the power to define its own rules.
The constitution requires that there be a simple majority to affirm the
appointment of judges.

If the senate makes a rule that is in conflict with the constitution,
which is supreme? The senate rule, or the constitution.

The constitution is supreme, ergo, the senate rule is unconstitional.
