I just wish people would remember how they were mainly obstructionist throughout Obama's term and make them pay the price. That's the only way to leave a mark and let politicians know that being obstructionist will not be tolerated. Too bad Americans attentions spans and priorities are out of whack.
No, it totally justifies it.
Republican obstruction in Congress was just shitty. Voters haven't just kept them in power after doing so; they handed republicans more power at the state and federal level than they've ever had in the last 90 years. Independents are okay with it, and partisan voters are definitely okay with it as well.
Democrats have nothing to gain and a lot to lose by taking the moral high ground here. Roe V Wade won't be safe and secure if Republicans have their way with the supreme court.
Obstruct away. I don't blame them at all.
