We now OWN the Presidency, the House and the Senate. How can they stop any appointments?
It’s traditional for the Senate to allow a filibuster of judicial appointments. Well, it was until Reid and the Dems decided not to, except for Supreme Court justices.
Of course if the Dems don’t allow a “Scalia type” justice to be appointed it will force Mitch’s hand and he’ll have to end their fillibustering whether he wants to or not.

Democrat fibuster in the Senate. Both parties have historically used it to stop appointments. The SCOTUS filibuster of the appointment of Robert Bork is one example
Actually, Bork was a down vote...sorry. Filibusters have stopped US Circuit and appeals Court no.inations though.
