So let me ask you a few questions: if the majority in Senate votes with the President, why didn't he bring the nomination to the floor?

Because it takes a supermajority (60 votes) to move anything through the Senate. The Republicans have 41 seats and have consistently voted as a bloc against allowing Administration nominations to proceed to the floor.
