You had the first 2 years of Obama. Obama’s thanks for the ACA was voters not showing up and losing the house of representatives for year 3 and 4. And again for year 5 and 6. And then both the house and Senate in years 7 and 8. So no you didn’t have 8 years with Obama, you had 2 years with Obama because voters did not show up. Congress is what passes laws and has power. They even shut down the freaking government under Obama.
Only Congress can increase the number of Justices on the Supreme Court. We had two years of congressional majority in the last twenty. They focused on healthcare.
How could they have possibly predicted that they’d need to expand and pack the Supreme Court to prevent the next President from becoming a dictator?
And even that was a monumental task. One vote away in the Senate, and that one guy got rid of the single payer option for the cost of his vote. Joe Lieberman if you want to look him up, the guy who started no labels political party (without a platform).
What, like a double cootie-shot on fifty-year-old protections that were the only sane interpretation of the goddamn bill of rights? What the fuck more would have stopped this illegitimate court from appealing to, fuckin’, English civil law?
Stop blaming the party that’s stood against all this abuse. The problem is the abuse.
We had 8 good years before that and didn’t set up any protections.

With a heavily divided legislature that only just passed the ACA before it exploded.

And they gave us Romneycare

4 years, or 3 because of Scott Brown. But we just had 2 years. And Obama had 1 year.
