60 votes to "Advise & Consent" for Supreme Court Judges

A simple change in Senate Rules and so many benefits for America.
The US Senate should change their Advise and Consent procedures to require a 60 vote super majority rather than the current simple majority vote for lifetime judicial appointments to the US Supreme and Appeals Court?
Such a simple rule change in Senate procedures would eliminate all the bitter political warfare over presidential nominations. All Americans would benefit. The drafters of the US Constitution gave the Advise and Consent process to the Senate and not to the People's House, because they hoped that the elder statesmen in the Senate would be shielded from the political heat of the moment. If 60 votes were necessary for approval, all Presidents, current and future, would nominate judges, who can receive such a vote.
Please contact your US Senators and ask them to support this change in Senate Rules.
