let's see how the Pubs handle Pickering and Brown...

My guess is, "With deference to the collegial nature of the Senate." That is, the same way other contentious nominees have been handled.

As far as I know, the GOP hasn't pushed its proposed change in rules regarding the handling of judicial appointments. As long as one DEM Senator is willing to object to the nomination, and at least 41 DEM Senators vote against cloture, the nominee will not be approved. Period.
