In order to not get through senate hearings, one of two things has to happen.
Either 51 senators (including the VP) have to deny the appointment, or 41 senators have to be willing to keep debate open on the appointment until the appointment falls off the docket (a procedural fillibuster). Possibly there is a way to kill it in committee as well?
A sign of support from your constituents helps give senators the courage to do either of those two things, I would suspect.
