I never understood how Repubs had a marginal majority and they were able to get bills passed, block Supreme justices etc. but somehow the Repubs got another justice confirmed within weeks of the transition. And we did not and had almost a year?

It is strange, a few old saying... do not shoot yourself in the foot and another to look inwards and clean your own house.

We can do both, applaud what has been done and look what we needs to be corrected.
