Do Senate's have a very little influence in regard to Supreme Court appointments?

Not at all. The Senate plays a minor advisory role and has the ability to block confirmation, a power they've exercised in one way or another 36 times in the history of the Court. Twelve US Supreme Court nominees were rejected outright, by Senate vote; the others received so much resistance from the floor that their names were withdrawn or their nominations died in committee.
The minority party (currently the Republicans) can filibuster if they can't muster enough votes to prevent an appointment. This tactic was applied successfully when Justice Abe Fortas' name was advanced as a potential successor to Chief Justice Earl Warren, who retired in 1969. Fortas' name was withdrawn, and Warren Burger was nominated in his place. Burger proved acceptable to both parties.
