Does the House have any say over picking anyone to the Judiciary or is it just the Senate?

2018-03-27 17:00:40 UTC  

It's amazing how much the Supreme Court has become like a gameshow

2018-03-27 17:00:51 UTC  

"Who's going to die next?"

2018-03-27 17:00:56 UTC  

Lol really

2018-03-27 17:01:13 UTC  

it's the times

2018-03-27 17:01:22 UTC  

everything is political now

2018-03-27 17:01:48 UTC  

@FLanon I don't think the Senate picks the judiciary, it's a Senate tradition though that you get the president gets the senator's approval from the state the justice is being appointed from.

2018-03-27 17:02:04 UTC  

It's not a rule, more of just a tradition.

2018-03-27 17:02:23 UTC  

I dunno if it's both senators or just the senior senator

2018-03-27 17:02:46 UTC  

alright, so the House has no say whatsoever then?

2018-03-27 17:02:52 UTC  

right

2018-03-27 17:03:08 UTC  

this puts some things into perspective

2018-03-27 17:03:10 UTC  

priorities

2018-03-27 17:03:21 UTC  

fortunately,

2018-03-27 17:03:26 UTC  

based on the Senate map this year,

2018-03-27 17:03:40 UTC  

Not really, that's how it should be, they're different branches of government. It made sense before senators were chosen by direct election

2018-03-27 17:03:41 UTC  

it will be literally impossible for Democrats to take the Senate

2018-03-27 17:03:48 UTC  

But now yeah, it makes little sense

2018-03-27 17:04:28 UTC  

Well, then we must focus on really hitting out of the park in the senate then.

2018-03-27 17:05:13 UTC  

2020 senate is looking pretty solid, too.

2018-03-27 17:05:34 UTC  

It's more atomized than in the House, I severely doubt they can get the impeachment process completed

2018-03-27 17:05:57 UTC  

Even if they dont

2018-03-27 17:05:58 UTC  

And it could cause a Bill Clinton effect in 2020

2018-03-27 17:05:58 UTC  

I'm still leaning to believe that Trump will be impeached

2018-03-27 17:06:04 UTC  

^

2018-03-27 17:06:08 UTC  

Losing the house would screw us

2018-03-27 17:06:09 UTC  

This is what I was thinking

2018-03-27 17:06:43 UTC  

2020 House and Senate Races could be Republican waves

2018-03-27 17:06:49 UTC  

I believe the House is too fluid for us to effectively have control over, the Senate may be where we should put our resources towards.

2018-03-27 17:06:53 UTC  

if Trump is impeached in 2019

2018-03-27 17:07:06 UTC  

We've controlled the House since 2010

2018-03-27 17:07:10 UTC  

The House will depend on Trump's and the GOP's actions.

2018-03-27 17:07:12 UTC  

It's not thah fluid

2018-03-27 17:07:25 UTC  

Maybe if you're in the leadership

2018-03-27 17:07:27 UTC  

Well,

2018-03-27 17:07:32 UTC  

And democrats controlled it al of the 1990s except for Gingrich xD

2018-03-27 17:07:35 UTC  

But we are but a lowly discord server

2018-03-27 17:07:50 UTC  

I think the fate of the House rests on a number of factors,

2018-03-27 17:07:58 UTC  

Maryland redistricting,

2018-03-27 17:08:03 UTC  

California jungle primary,

2018-03-27 17:08:33 UTC  

and Trump rallying his base in rural Minnesota
