Subj : How stupid can an av To : Dale Shipp From : Lee Lofaso Date : Mon Jun 27 2022 04:31:00 Hello Dale, DS>> The Senate is part of the Congress. No bill becomes law without being DS>> passed by the Senate (and the House). BF>> I know that. Hence my question, how has the Senate ever BF>> *contributed* to anything? Do they make the laws any better BF>> in some strange way? DS> Sometimes the Senate contributes, sometimes they take away from a house DS> bill before passing it, and sometimes they originate a new bill -- such DS> as the (weak) gun control that was just passed by both chambers and DS> signed by Biden. The Senate is needed to ratify treaties. And for "advice and consent" in regards to judges and justices for federal courts.
