If the Republicans win the Senate. Nothing will change much from what we have right now. The only difference is legislation will die at the president’s desk, rather than Harry Reid’s. 0-Tard will continue to use his “Pen and Phone”, and the next two years will be nearly identical to the previous four. I guess the GOP will have their precious committee chairmanships. I believe they want that more than anything else. That’s how they pay back their big donors. The president won’t have a rubber stamp on Senate confirmations, which could make judicial appointments problematic.
If the Republicans DO take the Senate, I’d expect Justice Ginsburg to retire before the end of the year; or is it already too late for that? I suppose Reid and the Senate Judiciary committee could move on the nomination during the lame duck session, or whenever they want to, before the next Congress is sworn in.
The only way anything will truly change is if the Republicans get enough Senators to override a Veto(VERY unlikely). THEN, things could get interesting.
Forgive me. After following this crap for many years, I’ve grown more than a little cynical. I used to actually care, until I learned that it’s best not to....
I don’t think Obmaa cares about a veto. He’ll just work around it. The Constitution means nothing to him and he knows he cannot be impeached.
They (R’s) have had the House.
All expenditure bills are supposed to originate there.
How’s that been working for slowing spending and debt?
