What about a Senator such as Rick Santorum or John Cornyn? The Senate would most certainly approve one of their own.Jeff Sessions would be my pick, but he or any other Senator needs to be saved for when a liberal Justice leaves. THAT is the ultimate "nucular" option -- let's see the Senate filibuster one of their own!

They wouldn't, and even Rick Santorum would most likely receive unanimous consent.
I suggest Santorum because he's a young lawyer and is very passionate and out spoken about the Constitution, and he's probably going to lose his re-election anyways. He would be bullet-proof in fellow Pennsylvanian Spector's Judiciary Committee.
I suggest Cornyn because he sat on the Texas Supreme Court for 7 years.
