"I have to wonder why Democrats are doing anything to help republicans"
Those votes don't help Republicans at all. The nominee would be confirmed even with 0 Democratic votes.
Note: I'm not defending the votes, I don't think any Democrat should be voting for anything on the Republican side at this point. Just pointing out that their votes don't make a difference on any nominees supported by at least 50 Republican Senators..
