Why would the executive challenge a confirmation of its candidate?
And if it's on legislation, it has a veto. [quote]
Executive could challenge if nominee wasn't getting up or down vote by full senate.

And, if you're saying the filibuster is unconstitutional, why is the committee structure generally not also unconstitutional, since a minority can block the majority?

Because the CON requires the advise and consent of the "Senate" not a committee thereof. Ty takes the view that the Senate can make it's own rules governing how it gives or does not give it's consent. I question the Constiutionality of that. A committee structure in general does not raise similar concerns because the Senate does not have a Constitutional obligation to pass laws.
