Excellent! Now why can't the judicial committee do the same procedural trick with judges???

Good question but my guess is there's a major difference between legislation/etc written by the Congress and a nomination submitted by the President for Consent/Advice.

There sure is. It might be okay to set up a supermajority/debate club rule for legislation and related squabbles, but those shenanigans are totally inappropriate when they undermine the power of a President to appoint judges as the Constitution prescribes.
