“That Republicans now control the Senate means, of course, that they control the confirmation process. Their majority enables them to stop an unacceptable nomination at various points: They can deny the nominee a committee hearing; they can vote the person down in committee; they can refuse to schedule a vote on a nomination sent to the floor; and the full Senate can vote to reject the nomination. The Republicans' majority status also strengthens their negotiating position with the White House, making it more likely that a mutually acceptable candidate will be chosen for a given seat.” MeanPersonsCoursesHouseGivenProcessWhitePositionRepublicanVoteMajorityVariousRefuseDenyHearingChosenCandidatesSeatsRejectsWhite HouseSenateAcceptableCommitteesSchedulesNotableNominationsConfirmationNegotiating Author:Terry Eastland
