   BREAKING! Senator Warnock wins the Georgia runoff election! ❤️ Dems now have complete control of the Senate and complete control of all Senate Committees. ✊? GOP's “red wave” was a wave good bye. ?

   Congrats to Senator Warnock on his reelection!❤️❤️❤️

     @Bam @QasimRashid I do think 51 is a LOT better than 50. I know about the House and what the next 2 yrs will look like, but taking away power from Manchin/Sinema matters.

     @YoWatShiinaEsq @QasimRashid Eh. I’m not sure that’s going to matter. With the Pubs in control of the House, Manchin isn’t going to be the problem with passing legislation. This next two years is going to be judicial nominations. And on those Manchin and Sinema have not bucked the party. But 51 speeds up that process a lot.

     @Bam @QasimRashid Yeah what do you mean Art. III, SCOTUS nomination? (If so, yes things could happen and it would be nice to change life tenure...

     @YoWatShiinaEsq @QasimRashid Don’t disagree. Just think the bigger immediate value added here is the speed of nominations and filling vacancies without every senator present for multiple votes, particularly in Article III.

     @YoWatShiinaEsq @QasimRashid Another SCOTUS vacancy may not be in the cards, but there’s Circuit Courts and District Court vacancies that need to be filled.

     @Bam @QasimRashid Ah yes yes! I'm not closely following but I believe Biden has been doing a pretty good job of filling them so far? (I also understand that 45 was active in doing it so...a lot to recover

     @IntlLawGnome @Bam @QasimRashid Hear you!
     In a very broad sense, even this mid-term surprised a lot of us & polls. What a rollercoaster.

     (& inversely, I do think that US system is healthier if not perfect in the very sense that we don't know what's gonna happen in 2 yrs. Unlike PRC or Japan for that matter.

     And realistically, Thomas isn't getting any younger, and I doubt his diet is getting any healthier. So you never know.
