Political Factoid
For more than 1,000 days (over
three years) federal courts suffered
a crisis with 80 or more vacancies
because of the unprecedented
obstruction by conservatives
(i.e., Republicans) in the Senate
blocking the president's court
nominees from being confirmed.
One branch of government (legislative)
strangled another branch (judicial) while the
third branch (executive) looked on hopelessly.
