Reply #13: I think the key is whether there should be a vote on the nomination.

The vote that requires 10 votes with one of them from the minority is to end debate and get on with the vote.

The Chairman shall entertain a non-debatable motion to bring a matter before the Committee to a vote. If there is objection to bring the matter to a vote without further debate, a roll call vote of the Committee shall be taken, and debate shall be terminated if the motion to bring the matter to a vote without further debate passes with ten votes in the affirmative, one of which must be cast by the minority.

If there is not an objection to the motion than the vote is taken on the nomination itself.

If there is an objection by a member then a roll call vote is taken to determine whether debate continues.

If the debate vote fails then debate continues.

If the debate vote succeeds then the vote is taken on the nomination. Which does not require a minority member to vote yea.
