KipT, that is exactly what I mean. The Republicans didn't vote for Obamacare because they wanted to read the bill before voting on it (Remember Pelosi saying they had to pass it in order to read it?). The SCOTUS nominee was done a disservice by the Obama administration. Both Biden and Schumer are on record saying that they would never vote on an appointment to the Supreme court if it were presented in the last year to 1 1/2 years of a Lame Duck Administration. Look what has become of Obamacare. There are a few good things about it (I like the pre-existing conditions part of it), but overall, it is a disaster. Even honest Democrats say there are issues that need to be fixed with it. I dare say that, if the Dems had worked with the Republicans, we would have gotten something a little better than what we were forced to take.
