It amazing in a way, the Republican believers  do not realize this change to the Senate rules will be there in the future.  The Republicans own this rule and when they get their arse kicked by Democrats using it they will cry and claim they are not responsible for the change. This option not only allows the approval of a SCOTUS nomination, it works equal well to stop the next one and will work for the majority in the Senate regardless of who is president.  In the long run this is one of the classic results of getting what you want today without considering the future.
