1. As I have asked in multiple threads on this same stupid topic

exactly HOW would they be "defying" the Constitution?

(Answer: They wouldn't be. The Constitution doesn't require the Senate to do a damn thing with respect to presidential nominees. The nominees just can't take their positions without the Senate's consent, which as we all know, it does not have to give.)
