Yeah, specifically excludes SCOTUS nominees...
Seeing that under Obama, senate filibusters number over seventy five is face/palm-inducing. Although I hate the source of the rule, changing the Senate rules to require on-topic only filibusters (Texas state assembly) would have effectively squelched this trend as well. Can you imagine an idiot like Ted Cruz staying on topic? For more than an hour? No Dr. Seuss books?
