I think that the proposal to abolish filibusters on judicial appointments is more evil than it appears.
Look carefully at what was proposed: to alter the parliamentary rules of the Senate by the will of a simple majority and the word of the "presiding officer". If this is OK, than no rule is safe. If no rule is safe, there are no rules.
Suppose that a member of the opposition wants a bill to be read before the vote. Overruled.
Suppose that a member of the opposition wants the content of a bill to be disclosed before the vote. Overruled.
Suppose that the majority will convene suddently without the opposition present. Hey, now they have 2/3 majority and they can amend the Constitution, impeach all inconvenient judges, sky is the limit!
Rules are what prevents the dictatorship of the temporary majority. Judicial appointments are but a small part of the larger picture.
