Question: if Garland doesn't have 60 votes, and the Mitch decides to use nuclear option, will he need 50+Pence or 51 votes? When Reid did it, he had 52 votes so this wasn't in question.

Gorsuch, not Garland.

Yeah...

Anyways, which Republicans would potentially be against the nuclear option? I could see Collins, Murkowski, and one other wild-card shoot it down. Honestly, considering how little Mitch cares about our institutions, I'll bet he's willing to go till 2019 and hope for his majority to widen.
