History of confirmation hearing >The controversy surrounding Brandeis's nomination was so great that the Senate Judiciary Committee, for the first time in its history, held a public hearing on the nomination, allowing witnesses to appear before the committee and offer testimony both in support of and in opposition to Brandeis's confirmation. While previous nominees to the Supreme Court had been confirmed or rejected by a simple up-or-down vote on the Senate floor—often on the same day on which the President had sent the nomination to the Senate—a then-unprecedented four months lapsed between Wilson's nomination of Brandeis and the Senate's final confirmation vote en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Brandeis#Nominated_to_the_Supreme_Court

But what does that have to do with the 60% rules? Are they a result of allowing greater representation to minorities of states that would otherwise not have any representation?
