American Way: Republicans beware, midterms are not always a sign of things to come - The midterm elections being held a week from Tuesday will be the most important elections in the history of America, right? We say that every two years, and they cant all be the most important. Still, the truth is that what happens on November 4 could have huge ramifications, even if they arent obvious at first blush. But if Republicans do take the senate, it is possible they could pass a few modest things, such as the #Keystone XL oil pipeline, by wooing enough Democrats to support it. They could also block the confirmation of executive-branch appointees and non-Supreme Court Justices. And if a Supreme Court vacancy should occur, they could block that, too. (These are lifetime appointments, and there is arguably no more important or lasting legacy a president can leave than his Supreme Court appointments.) #SCOTUS
