ok ... so lets go down your road...

some future judge is deemed (unfairly) to be extreme and is filibustered by the democrats...

.....

Then we just move to change the rules at that time to prevent filibusters.

The rules can be changed anytime we want them to be changed.

Everyone is acting like this is our one and only chance to change the rules.

The fact is we get a guarantee of confirmation on the judges we want most and if the dems shout "extreme circumstances" on future nominees we just pull the constitutional trigger then.... simple really.

"We"? Six Republicans have just demonstrated for all time that they're disloyal to their party. Without them, we can accomplish nothing and the Rats run the Senate.

The pool of "moderate" and cowardly Republicans is larger than most people realize. The dopes you saw at the press conference today were just the front men and front women.
There are more. Today, they seized control of the Senate.
Frist is hung out to dry, and the GOP will never win another tough vote in this congress. We have also taken a big step toward a bad '06 election and a disastrous '08.
Can you say President Hellary?

The rules can be changed anytime we want them to be changed.

Then they should be changed now, when the media furor over the act will have had time to die down before the next election, and maybe even before a Supreme Court vacancy occurs.
