Yes but things go through the House first. Things originate in the House so the dems are going to start originating investigations and voting down things "because Trump." The other side of that is that the dems can't actually get anything through and then Trump is going to have to legislate via Executive Order.

And if I remember correctly, impeachment proceedings start in the House as well.

IIRC, the supreme court nominee only needs to be confirmed by the senate, so the dems can make a stink but can't stop it.

Pretty sure it wasn't just senators causing a problem for Kavenaugh.

I thought it was just the senators that caused a problem...

Also, only spending bills need to start in the House. And in the case of impeachment, the House brings charges but it's up to the Senate to convict.
