Motivation for Senate 2018. Supreme Court

I know a lot of people have been talking about how low the chances are to take back the Senate in 2018. It seems to me that part of the problem is motivating voters. That means progressive and liberal voters too. Here is a possible motivation. I propose that if Democrats retake the Senate in 2018, that we set up a policy among Democratic Senators that no Judge appointed by Trump who has been taken from any list that could possibly have been provided by the Federalist Society be allowed to sit on the bench. This could not only help us with a possible dreaded replacement of Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Stephen Breyer, but could make the Republicans regret what the nuclear option that they pulled.
