We will need to either get 60 votes in the Senate or use a few gonads to break the filibustering minority to get any of this.

Even if you had 60 republicans in the senate, you wouldn't gain what you want. What you need is a leadership with gonads, we all decried Lott and then let Nickles get pushed aside for a more moderate electable Frist. Not only that we are likely to lose Nickles seat to a rat too.

I never thought I would live to see the death of our republic, but......

I agree it is a shame the honorable Sen. Nickles was not elected SML;
I suspect judicial nominations and Filegate would be a whole different story.
I think [hope] Tom Coburn will win the seat, and represent OK honorably as well, but its by no means a given; he must overcome a popular RINO in primary, then whoever the rats/governmentemployees/teachers nominate. Not easy.

Even with a stronger Republican majority, i wouldn't look for any judicial impeachments.
The SCOTUS passes on reviewing most unconstitutional legislation by Congress and Administrative branches; Congress passes on checking Administrative and Judicial branches; and all branches secure more powers,
while the Constitution continues to fade into a meaningless historic symbol.
