It should be noted at least one Democrat has said they’re open to confirming Trump Supreme Court appointees, that being U.S. Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado, so far.

and you’ll definitely immediately see a party divided between who thinks they should do some investigation, lots of investigations, or none and just focus on legislation. There is a risk in just sitting all day on cspan doing investigations and getting no where, but legislation as you mentioned is likely to go nowhere other than showing on record who supports or doesn’t a particular policy or change, so there will in fact need to be some balance found if Dems are to hold congress and the senate and take the executive office in 28.

Trump still holds power of foreign policy, and war powers, and he will ramp up those abuses even further to change the narrative and punish the nation for slighting him, as any good narcissist can be expected to do.

    I hope the new congress addressees this since from the American legal perspective, the war in Iran has not been deemed a war, and since congress is the body that gets to decide to declare war, if the system works as intended they could decline to legitimize the war and thus end hostilities.
