How would a court ever have the opportunity to hear this challenge? If the nuclear option is used, what does Ted Kennedy do--sue to say that a judge was confirmed over a lawful fillibuster?

Theoretically, the Executive branch could challenge. Or, a non-committee member could challenge.

As to your point in the next post, how can many of the Senate's rules be justified? For example, if a committee refuses to report out a nominee or a bill, that ends it. That can happen with just 9 or 10 senators. Or a hold--a single senator can stop some things. Ty can have my proxy on this one from here.
