OK, so lets say it is a given that the gop will regain control of the senate.

They will maintain their control of the house.

And, they control the presidency.

What will be accomplished in the next 2 years? Any predictions?

Predictions?

The GOP will get stupid.

Among other things, they'll submit, and vote for, a permanent extension to the assault weapons ban, guaranteeing that the Dems will sweep both branches in 2004.

Easy - Sir FagALott will reopen power-sharing negotiations.

The last thing to look for would be a smaller, less-expensive and less-intrusive Stupid Federal Government.

I think the primary goal will be to open up the bottleneck on judicial nominees. Several Supreme Court justices want to retire but are holding on. Everything else will be secondary.

Also, I predict that Senate Republicans will replace Trent Lott as Majority Leader.

Umm, Victory over Iraq, Permanent tax cuts, Economic Growth, Ban on partial birth abortion, confirmation of conservative judges at the appelate and supreme court levels. That ought to be a start.

Sure!

First and foremost, MANY currently vacant federal bench positions will be filled with HONORABLE men and women who revere the law!

How's that for a start!

[With a GOP House & Senate] What will be accomplished in the next 2 years? Any predictions?

Okay, here's one - LOTS of Constitutionalist Judges.

Here's another - Capital Gains or other major tax cuts.

Here's a third - GOP Landslide in 2004.

Based on past GOP performance, the Democrat's program will be implemented, only more slowly.
