Could have seated at least one good Supreme Court justice and other things. Could you have imagined the screaming the rethugs would have done? You can be certain theyd have tried to impeach him

(516 posts)SCOTUS is tied 2-2 (Kagan and Sotameyer)
Obama passed way more significant legislation and only had a Dem Congress for 2 years.
The economy improved much more under Obama.
It is not even close. This OP is sadly mistaken.
eta Congress instead of Senate

(4,066 posts)If we had acted like Trump and McConnell, we'd have seated a lot of judges in the federal courts. The SCOTUS replacement was out our hands. McConnell was already the Senate Majority leader.
The lower and mid-level judges though, that would have been great.
