ok we don't win both houses but IF we win the senate in 2018

[bluestarone]

what exactly can we do? I'm sure we can stop there bullshit, BUT can we call for investigations on anything? (I hope we can call in some of tRumps cronies including family members?) PLEASE SAY YES!!!

[unblock]

1. yes, we can certainly run investigations in whichever chamber we control.

whether that amounts to anything, or even gets meaningful media attention, is another matter.

we can also vote down any further ultra-right proposals, and in theory we can refuse to approve his nominees, though in practice we're likely to approve many of them, just at a relatively slow rate.

3. i'm just hoping for

REAL HEARINGS that really mean something, that are not coverup hearings that the likes of nUnes does

2. nueter trump

4. The Senate is more important than the House because the Senate confirms appointments...

like Supreme Court appointments (just ask Mitch McConnell about that).

And yes, the Senate can investigate most anything it wants to.

10. Trump has filled perhaps 100 federal judgeships,

including many wingnuts. These are lifetime appointments.

McConnell kept these seats open by denying Obama's appointments.

If we win the senate, no more wingnuts on federal benches.

5. I'm not giving up on both houses. Why are you?

[bluestarone]

6. well we are told

it's absolutely impossible that's why! Im talking 2018 i wish it wasn't true but that's the hand we are dealt

[unblock]

7. that's not true anymore, now that we picked up a seat in alabama.

[bluestarone]

9. awesome i stand corrected

i'd rather take BOTH anyway so let's DO IT!!!!!!!!!!

[YessirAtsaFact]

8. Its not impossible to take both houses

But it’s more likely we take the house and not the senate than vice versa.

under oath? anyway this can be done?

12. Stop RW judges from being appointed
