There are still enough GOP votes for confirmation, but there will be a record of why no Democrats voted YES. To be consistent, if the nominee was properly vetted (ethics paperwork in, no conflicts, etc.) AND is qualified, another justifiable reason for a NO vote must be recorded, otherwise vote to confirm. Not ideal.
