.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump (falsely) thinks he’s found proof of fmr. Pres. Obama failing to be ‘great.’
Donald Trump wasn’t asked about Barack Obama or judicial nominees during a brief Q&A with reporters yesterday, but the Republican shared some notable thoughts on the subject anyway.
Yes, Trump has heard quite enough about his predecessor being great, and he thinks he’s uncovered some evidence to the contrary. If Obama were truly great, the argument goes, he wouldn’t have left a bunch of vacancies on the federal judiciary for his Republican successor to fill with young, far-right ideologues.
It’s at about this point that some of the folks that I know who worked in the Obama White House start having aneurysms. For the first six years of the Democratic administration, GOP senators did everything they could to slow, block, and obstruct the judicial confirmation process, exploiting every procedure, abusing every rule, and in some cases, making up new rules that didn’t exist.
