The Senate sits at the heart of American government, and every bill that becomes a law must pass through it. The Senate also controls the confirmation of every federal judge, from the district courts up to the Supreme Court, along with the confirmations of thousands of positions in the executive branch. By imposing their will on the Senate, the nerve center of American government, a minority of senators found they could impose their will on the entire nation.
