Obama said that after winning his second term, so is it really yours? Funny how things come back to swallow. Senate confirms nominees, that's separation of powers. Still a result of not winning elections. Republicans had majority then, and the no vote was actually a statement on the nominee, so win more seats. These are the same rules as always, except when Harry Reid secured it would be smart to make it a majority vote instead of 2/3. Another one to come back and bite you. Good times, good times
