I would rather have him leave the party than to block the judicial nominees.Forcing him out of the party would probably result in his being more likely to block any judges.

I highly doubt that. He cannot block judges as a mere senator, even if he switched sides. If he joined up with all the liberal republicans, he still could not block a judge on an up or down vote (do the math). I am not advocating forcing him out of the party, but if he leaves because he is not made the head of the judicial committee, so be it.
