The best way to kill the filibuster in THIS Senate on THESE nominees is to use the nuclear option to end forever the application of any filibuster to any judicial nominee

The NUKE option as written above sounds dangerous because,"It would make the Senate function like the House."

Would it be wise to alter the Senate in this direction?

The "Senate would function just like the House" is another Democrat dodge. It would not.

The proper use of the nuclear option is tactical, not theater. It can and should be used ONLY to eliminate the filibuster as applied to judicial nominations and no other subject. That way, judicial confirmations will go back to what the Constitution requires -- majority vote only. And all other activities of the Senate will continue as before.
