Reid's policy decisions had huge repercussions.
But NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING, will be as long lived as the three people pictured here...who would not be on the Supreme Court if not for Reid. He set in motion the events that guaranteed Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett.

Liberals delude themselves on this. It is HIGHLY questionable whether McConnell could have kept his caucus together to oppose Garland after Scalia's passing if not for fact that Obama and Reid had just recently nuked the judicial filibuster.
He got MCCAIN to go along. Imagine.

McCain had supported every single judge that came through his entire career. But he was PISSED Reid broke his promise from the previous judicial filibuster deal, under George W. Bush.
Its convenient now to forget that McCain was the key figure, and the Dems ostracized him.

All of this isn't a personal indictment of Reid. It simply IS. These are facts that lot of people want to ignore.
You can still applaud or attack him as you see fit. But policy wise, the Supreme Court would not be where it is today if not for Harry Reid.
