The rules of the Senate are not law, and not subject to review.
I am pretty sure your idea to reverse the appointments (or otherwise try to obstruct them) would be deemed unconstitutional. And politically stupid.
We need a Congress that can get stuff done. People are sick of both sides not being able to do anything.
ps. Also defund any more allocations of funds for 0dumb0 & mooochelle vacation extravaganzas. This would include AF 1 jet setting around the country based on 0dumb0's whims & ego.
And they are subject to reversal without say so of the Executive or the Judicial. Thank you, that only further buttresses my line of thinking.

"Pretty sure" somebody will "deem" it unconstitutional, are you? Are you a Constitutional scholar? On what Constitutional basis do you make you claim or are you just throwing words around?
Did you know that Constitutionally Congress can limit the authority of the Judicial branch to rule in cases it "deems" to be outside the scope of Judiciary's remit to do so (Article III Section 2)? Congress could step up and pass a law saying that the Federal Judiciary cannot be arbiters in cases involving state statues governing the institution and definition of marriage.
Congress could simply dissolve the entire Circuit Court system forever or until such a time that the Federal Judiciary chooses to acknowledge the supremacy of State sovereignty in the definition of and civil matters related to the institution of marriage.
Congress writes the Judicial branch's check. Congress may use the power of the purse to compel action from the Judiciary if it wants to. It's part of the Judiciary's job description and if the Judiciary fails to do its job, it can also fail to get paid until it decides to do what it is being paid to do.
And politically stupid.
You are clearly unable to think outside the box. The guy who did the politically stupid thing was Reid and going with the nuclear option on Judicial appointments.

Now you sound like just another whiny lib. Here I have proposed a plan for Congress to use its present Constitutional authority to "get stuff done." There's lots of things in Congress's Constitutional authority to do, if only it choses to exercise those powers to do so.
If you even have two neurons to rub together to come up with a better plan than mine I'll challenge you to do it now.
FReegards!
