Why did Congress and the President let the GOP push him around? Why did you just let them steal his SCOTUS pick with no consequences? Why didn't you hold up everything else until Obama got his pick?
In 2015 and 2016 ALONE, Republicans used the #blueslip to block these nine Obama nominees:
Rebecca Haywood
Lisabeth Tabor Hughes
Abdul Kallon
Myra Selby
Don Beatty
Mary Barzee Flores
Dax Lopez
Patricia Timmons-Goodson
Anne Traum

yes, the garland SCOTUS obstruction by senate republicans was a travesty, and made a mockery of our constitution. i'm still seething over it.

Mitch McConnell bragged about blocking President Obama's judicial nominees. The GOP are the real obstructionists. All their important bill discussions are held in secret, excluding Democrats. We need to send a clear message and vote against the tax cut bill for the top 1%.
@MSNBC -
totally. the GOP clearly can't lead or legislate, they only know how to obstruct - esp w/ the tea partiers in their caucuses. suits them just fine though, since they want to dismantle government.

When McConnell refused to give Garland hearings he broke our democracy. Historians will write about that.
