so much shit is going to get done in president HRC's first term with her SCOTUS pick (assuming garland doesnt get confirmed this year), house + senate majority, etc. BILL NEEDS TO GO AWAY THO i never trusted that bastard

In the event Trump does win, I wonder if Congress would rush through to approve Garland just because they couldn't trust who Trump would choose.

Yes, I know that tag exists. I meant to use it, and I added it just now.

There are times, though, when an issue is so specific to either the Senate or the House that I wish we had specific tags for each.

Another example would be the SCOTUS thing and the Senate refusing to hold hearings to approve the appointment of Merrick Garland--that's specific to the Senate and not to Congress as a whole.

I can see how separate tags might not seem absolutely necessary, but I feel like they would be useful at times.

Oh, I didn't know that about the tag limit (either what it was or that we are right there)! That puts things in a different light.

I hope Pat Toomey loses to Katie McGinty (for PA senate). Toomey is God awful. And McGinty would be the first female state senator.

First female, for PA to clarify.

I want the Senate and the House to be blue, blue, blue.

That way, maybe the President can actually get stuff done without having to compromise all over the place or do executive orders.
