    he’s also the one that kept a supreme court seat unfilled for nearly the entire last year of obama’s second term.

    then he rammed another confirmation (what would be dipshit’s third) through the senate at the very end of dipshit, episode 1, the lame duck weeks… in complete contradiction to what he did before.

    which means, without this stain of humanity leading the senate, the make-up of the supreme court of the united states would be 5-4 the other way. dipshit would have never had a scRotus doing his bidding all this time.

      the make-up of the supreme court of the united states would be 5-4 the other way.

      One of those five would have been Merrick Garland, though, who wasn’t exactly the bees’ knees as AG. He probably would have ended up as an extreme disappointment as a SC justice. Better than Gorsuch, but not by much.
