The nomination did not violate the senate rule but the Senate did if the committee itself was a tied vote then it should not be brought before the entire Senate for a vote... as I understand it.
The full Senate held a procedural vote to discharge her nomination from the committee (basically a dismissal of the committee's responsibility on this nominee). So now they can hold a confirmation vote as the majority leader gets to decide to move the nominee forward unilaterally.
