That obstruction is why Reid invoked the “nuclear option.” Which is why McConnell in turn invoked the “nuclear option” v2.0. If the Biden and the Dems expand the SCOTUS we can just refer to it as the “nuclear option” v3.0.
Again, if they would just fill the vacancies as the become available then we wouldn’t have this conversation about the political gamesmanship.
Sure, but if you frame out that blockage by the party of "No,"
then it is clear the Dems started it.
