The courts are going to get very activist with this rule change. They will now that Obama is President, and they will just as much to the right when a Conservative is President. You "might" see less extreme nominations from more centrist nominees such as Hillary Clinton, Chris Christie or Scott Walker. If you get nominees like Elizabeth Warren or Ted Cruz, then the nominees are going to very extreme.
Ultimately this rule change is a slippery slope to undoing it for all filibusters, such as for legislation and the Supreme Court. And if the rule gets changed for legislation, then its just going to be a see-saw of massive changes in direction of laws with each Presidential election.
The Senate was created to be the body that moves very slow, and acted with more thought and deliberation than that of the house. I'm worried that is no longer the case, and we will see a lot more reactionary laws put into and out of place with each election. Especially when you are seeing the death of the moderate Senators on both sides. The gap from the center is getting greater with each election.

And in May, at Millett?s urging, the Second Circuit upheld Starbucks Corp.'s right to prohibit employees from wearing more than one pro-union button at a time, overturning a National Labor Relations Board ruling that the company had committed unfair labor practices.
The Second Circuit found that Starbucks' decision to prohibit multiple pro-union buttons was not an unfair labor practice and defended its decision to fire a pro-union employee with lackluster performance reviews.http://www.law360.com/articles/398906/appellate-mvp-akin-gump-s-patricia-a-millett.
