“If the current rules are in place, the liberal judicial and administrative nominations will pass with a coalition of all dems and a few RINO’s “
False.
Nominations have to go through the Judiciary Committee.
They’ll be stopped there- at least the worst will.

Stopped in the Judiciary Committee? Don’t bet the farm on that.
The membership of the CURRENT Judiciary Committee consists of TWO MORE ‘RATS than Republicans. I’m assuming that the January 2015 New Congress’ Judiciary Committee will have TWO more Republicans than the number of ‘RATS.
The ‘RAT appointees to the Judiciary Committee are ALWAYS picked from Senators who can be counted on to toe the progressive ‘RAT line. You can’t say the same about the Republicans when it comes to standing ONLY for nominees who will defend the Constitution.
Current Congress Judiciary Committee members include Orrin Hatch, Lindsey Graham, John Cornyn and Jeff Flake. These “squishes” can be counted on to vote Obama’s nominees out of committee. I don’t know who will be on the 2015 Congress’ Judiciary Committee, but you can count on the ‘RATS to place ONLY PROGRESSIVE NOMINEE supporters and the Republican leadership to appoint at least half of their membership from the RINO wing of the party. SO ALMOST ALL OF OBAMA’S NOMINEES WILL COME OUT OF THE COMMITTEE SUCCESSFULLY.
And THAT is why we need to go back to the 60 vote closure rule FOR JUDICIAL NOMINEES for as long as Obama (or another progressive ‘RAT is in office.
