Thank goodness we kept the Senate. |
|
We keep the power to ratify Obama's nominees, such as the Supreme Court.

4. We don't have the Senate. It takes 60 votes to control the Senate. |
|
It only takes 51 votes to pass something Republicans want but it takes 60 votes to pass a Democratic measure.
We don't control either for at least the next 2 years and with gerrymandering this year we are unlikely to control the House for the next decade.
