Repubs did try to make it an Obama issue. Assholes refuse to take responsibility of their mistakes. Or in this case Roberts being a Republican (again Republican is synonymous with Asshole.)

(3,824 posts)Especially if this assmunch gets to appoint anymore justices (hopefully if we win in Nov we can McConnel him).

We can always reset the courts once we're done then let them hope they can win FAIRLY and do it themselves. Just an opinion IF the opportunity presents itself
