Two SCOTUS seats manipulated to Republicans advantage. With Scalia’s seat Mitch McConnell refused to even give Obama’s nominee a hearing for 11 months.

It’s clear now that the “rules” of the Senate are whatever the Party in the majority needs them to be to accomplish whatever they want to accomplish.
