17. Personally I couldn't give a shit about the Senate
Without the federal courts, Congress (and even the presidency) means nothing. I've posted this before, but let me remind folks- it was a Dem Congress that passed the ADA and a republican president who signed it, only to see it emasculated into meaningless legislation by the federal courts. And those federal courts were more moderate and/or liberal than the federal courts of today.

LIFETIME appointments versus a Senate seat that is guaranteed only 6 years? I'll take the courts, please.
