The President should install judges, then let Congress vote not to approve if they wish.

The system has been backwards and is broken. We have to wait for 60 Senators to approve a judge instead of simply installing the judge and letting them vote to disapprove if they wish.

Have we always had to have a majority of 60, or has this been a recent development (i.e., the past 2-5 years)? I'm guessing the Democrats changed this when they started losing Senate seats.
