@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.
It's not a rule, more of just a tradition.
I dunno if it's both senators or just the senior senator
alright, so the House has no say whatsoever then?
right
this puts some things into perspective
priorities
fortunately,
based on the Senate map this year,
Not really, that's how it should be, they're different branches of government. It made sense before senators were chosen by direct election
it will be literally impossible for Democrats to take the Senate
But now yeah, it makes little sense
Well, then we must focus on really hitting out of the park in the senate then.
2020 senate is looking pretty solid, too.
It's more atomized than in the House, I severely doubt they can get the impeachment process completed
Even if they dont
And it could cause a Bill Clinton effect in 2020
I'm still leaning to believe that Trump will be impeached
^
Losing the house would screw us
2020 House and Senate Races could be Republican waves
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.
if Trump is impeached in 2019
We've controlled the House since 2010
The House will depend on Trump's and the GOP's actions.
It's not thah fluid
Maybe if you're in the leadership
Well,
And democrats controlled it al of the 1990s except for Gingrich xD
But we are but a lowly discord server
I think the fate of the House rests on a number of factors,
Maryland redistricting,
California jungle primary,
and Trump rallying his base in rural Minnesota
I say, to effectively make use of our resources, we go after the Senate.
We focus on the Senate, that is.
If McSally wins the GOP nomination,
We'll have more effect on the House though since we're more grassroots
and Heller campaigns correctly,
we won't need to worry about the Senate
