I mean, if the Senate really wanted to be a pain in the ass, then all they need is 51 Senators to say "we will only vote YES on this list of nominees." What would be the legal mechanism to force them to vote yes on other nominees? But they couldn't stop the President from nominating someone else anyway.

I'd argue that if a state constitution can allow a state legislature to do so to Gubernatorial appointees, the Federal Constitution can allow Congress to do so for a Presidential appointee if they so choose.

let the states decide

...huh
