Bare minimum we should have taken action when they stole Obama’s pick.
I’m complaining about decades of inaction
None of this addresses the question, do what? If the Republicans hold the White House or either branch of Congress there is nothing that can be done; at least no proactively, which leaves obstruction.
But that wouldn’t change anything, so what actions could they have taken and how? It’s really easy to say “do something” as long as it’s not on you to say what should be done and how it should be accomplished.
The Senate refused to confirm Garland, how do you seat a Supreme Court justice without the advice and consent of the Senate? Congress even refused to take a recess to block Obama’s ability to make recess appointments. The Republicans would leave a member behind to open and then adjourn.
So the question remains, do what? If you don’t have an answer then stop repeating that they should have done the thing that you can’t even think of.
