Very simple way around this... just have the Senate vote to recess for a day and during that recess, President Trump makes a Recess Appointment of whomever he wants and that new Justice will serve two years before he comes up for Advise and Consent from a new 2018 Senate that should have more new Republicans members to beat a future Democrat filibuster.

Why does Schumer call the shots? I thought the Republicans had a majority in the Senate as well as the house.

Alternatively, tell Chuck he can bite your shiny metal daffodil and nuke the filibuster like Hiroshima.
