First there's a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee who recommends, or declines to recommend, a nominee to a vote by the full Senate. If recommended, and then the nominee recieves a simple majority of those voting in the full Senate, they are confirmed.
This fulfills the Constitutional requirement that the Senate give "advice and consent" to the appointments of the President.

The Senate confirms nominations, but the process starts in the Judiciary Committee.

Umm, I don't understand your question, are you asking about the committee that is supposed to approve, or if there is one, are you asking about a specific judge? add details so that we can give you a clear answer.
