1. How many votes does she need?

How many votes does a supreme court nominee need to get approved? If it's more than what republicans have right now, then I won't vote for her. But if they have enough that they can force a vote before 2006 election, then yeah I would approve her. The next nominee could be a lot more hardcore.

5. I believe it's just 51 (simple majority).
Republicans have 54 seats currently, Democrats 45 seats and one Independent seat, if I'm not mistaken.

Of course, many Republicans might vote against her.

2. To quote Sun Tzu:
"It is not necessary to understand _WHY_
an enemy desires a certain thing;
The fact that they desire it
is sufficient reason to DENY it to them."

3. Stop her: nominating her was an insult, a giant "fuck you" from Bush

4. Kill the nomination. She's not qualified, first and foremost.
