It’s too late for that. The norm for this has been broken so now it has become just another partisan fight. If the Democrats take the senate they should refuse to confirm any judicial appointment except for those they submit, until they either retake the presidency or lose the Senate again.
Once your counterparty has shown they no longer wish to play by the rules of cooperation, continuing to cooperate no longer serves a purpose. It’s basic game theory - credible retaliation until their behavior improves.
Since we're going totally bare knuckle partisanship I'll be looking forward to supporting the Reapportionment Act of 2021 or 2025 removing the cap on the HOR and resetting representation to a 200K per Rep level. Also the act admitting DC as a state that same year.
