Assuming Democrats today wish to oppose any future Bush nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court, and assuming that the nomination clears the Judiciary Committee and all Republicans are unified in voting for the nominee, how could/would Democrats stop the President's appointment on the Senate floor?

If the nominee passes muster with a majority of the Senate Judiciary Committee, that means a majority of Democrats voted "Aye". Any Senate of that party who would challenge the wisdom of his fellow Democrats on the committee (and that of the Committee Chairman) would quickly run afoul of the Senate Majority Leader. Even an attempted filibuster would produce a quick vote for cloture.

The Democrats have a majority in the Senate. All they have to do is vote "no."
