Sorry, but it does indeed matter who holds the majority. Only 50 votes are needed to confirm nominees and Republicans have 53. Assign blame where it belongs: with Republicans.

I'm afraid you are misinterpreting my comments. Perhaps read them again. RFK was confirmed by party line. In this point with RFK, you don't blame Trump. You blame the GOP that confirmed him. But there were several other nominees, none qualified, that were confirmed with some Dem votes as well.

Those others would’ve been confirmed even without those Dem votes. The only way a Trump nominees’ confirmation is stopped is by Republicans voting no. Doesn’t matter what Dems do.

Then why should any Dem senator ever vote for any Trump appointee?
