Sorry to hear that Harry Reid is dying. His "exit interview" w/ @NYTImes is jarring in many ways, and includes this paragrpaghj "But McConnell’s and Trump’s own most substantial accomplishment to date,
the appointment to the federal bench of an unprecedented number of conservative judges, including two Supreme Court justices who might well end up hearing a challenge to the Affordable Care Act, was made vastly easier by Reid’s decision, in 2013,
to get rid of the filibuster for judicial appointments. Reid remains unrepentant about this. “They can say what they want,” he told me. “We had over 100 judges that we couldn’t get approved, so I had no choice. Either Obama’s presidency would be a joke or Obama’s presidency
would be one of fruition.” nytimes.com/2019/01/02/mag… Thus Harry Reid declares that the Obama years come down to Obamacare and a majority of judges on the D.C. Circuit. His massive strategic miscalculation is lost on him.
