A 2/3 vote also applies to making or changing a rule of the Senate.

IMHO, making a rule that advise and consent on nominations is not subject to cloture is the way to get around this current problem.

The Pubs have hesitated in this in order to prevent making a precedent for judicial nominations.

Making precedent has never stopped the Rats.
