“I don’t know, a large number of Obama nominees might find the 4 necessary RINO votes to be confirmed.”
But with Grassley running the Judiciary Committee, they wouldn’t get to the floor in the first place. While we’re in a clear majority, it makes no sense to bring back the filibuster for nominations. When the next Republican wins the White House—hopefully in 2016)—there will be a GOP Senate majority (the 2000 elections will never be repeated), and allowing him to fill all of those judgeships with a simple-majority vote will be crucial; we don’t want a repeat of the Gang of 12 or whatever it was that kept blocking qualified conservative nominees.
