I am confused. Mike Lee could not vote for himself could he? If he is nominated, that leaves only 49 Republican votes, assuming McCain does not vote and all Democrats vote no. Am I wrong?

Senate rules leave it to the discretion of senators whether or not to vote for themselves. Jeff Sessions decided to vote "present" when the Senate voted on his nomination to be AG. But nothing would require Mike Lee to do so if he were the court pick.
