If a person wishes to filibuster some nomination, they should have to do it the old fashion way: stand up, and start talking. It was nonsense that some Senator could simply say "I filibuster" and then go out for lunch.
I don't even think the filibuster should exist. Whatever party has the majority should be able to pass bills and confirm nominations. The filibuster is just a stupid tradition that belongs in the past.
