Sorry? Was it Obama's SC judge or was it the GOPs? Obama did nothing except roll over to McConnell because Obama's billionaire donors were a-ok with the current SC, and you're a rube if you believe there was nothing he could do.

What would have happened if a Dem speaker had blocked a Republican president from an SC seat? A recess appointment, firstly, which Obama never attempted. Enraging the Republican base to assert public pressure, which Obama never attempted. Note when Barrett was nominated with less time, Dems rolled.

The Supreme court unanimously ruled against Obama's earlier attempts at recess appointments. www.theguardian.com/law/2014/jun...
