Uh, not quite sure why the republicans are doing this. Obama has a lot more ability to nominate a liberal replacement to whoever retires in the next two years if he only needs 5 republican votes instead of 14.

Great!  A broken clock is right twice a day.  Now for the rest of the filibuster.
Do you realize that totally nixing the filibuster allows republicans to enact whatever ultra-conservative policy they want whenever they have the house (which they'll have until at least Jan. 2023 if not even longer) 51 senate seats and the presidency? Even I don't want that.
