Only blocked for executive nominees and judges below the Supreme Court.

Overrepresented to begin with thanks to the "Great Compromise," the senate conservatives retain the power to endlessly frustrate huge majorities of the American people to protect the richest one thousandth of one percent.
But they are screaming bloody murder, for all the world as though majority rule were per se objectionable and minority obstruction was the essence of liberty.
The national media, devoted above everything like truth, candor, integrity, and responsibility to "selling papers," is glad to amplify enraged Republican bilge.
Our constitution and our classe politique just suck.
And journalism is more a public disaster than a public service.
