Republicans now control Congress, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court. Still can't pass any new legislation. If the democrats had this level of support they'd be well on their way to bulldozing the opposition with the Nuclear Option, several new Supreme Court cases, and presidential overreach. The Nuclear Option would allow them to bring an end to the filibuster. New Supreme Court cases would let them overturn things like Citizens United, and stop voter I.D. laws. Presidential overreach would be fairly easy since nobody is going to take you to court when the court is in your favor. Just run about as president making multiple shady executive orders until the cows come home (Trump has already done this).

You know democrats controlled the congresses and the house from 2006-2010, and the presidency from 2008-2016. Even Obama barely passed the ACA with 57 seats in the Senate, and a large house majority as well. But yeah, just proves Washington is a inefficent mess.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
