They are the minority in the Senate then and now. There's literally nothing to be done unles enough Repubs join them to leave the Senate without the required quorum.

Anyway, I don't think the seat will be filled before the lame duck period, in an atempt to electorally protect endangered Repub senators.

Ah, I hadn't read into it and was hopeful that the system required both houses of congress. Sigh. Well here's hoping they can't get somethin together before the election. 

The new Congress/president wouldn’t be sat until January... so they technically have until then to push a nominee through... I expect a lame duck confirmation will happen sometime in December while republicans still control the senate and the presidency (I expect they will lose both in November...)
