Harry Reid was responding to Republican obstruction of appointing federal judges which McConnell has filled under Trump.

Nothing.
What's there to stop McConnell from obstructing a Biden SCOTUS nominee if given the opportunity? Nothing.
Quote:What McConnel did was underhanded, but packing the SCOTUS is a naked power grab. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that doing so could be the impetus for a second civil war.
Again, McConnell stacking/packing the SCOTUS and federal courts is a naked power grab as well. They can't get rid of Obamacare or abortion through the legislative branch so they will pack/stack the courts to overturn them via the judicial branch. They are trying to legislate via the judicial branch with "activist" judges who will rule they way they want since they failed at the legislative level. Gimme a break.
