    Not accurate. In 2021 the Supreme Court was split 6-3 in Republican favor.

    Also, the Senate was super split with 50 Republicans, 48 Democrats, and 2 Independent Senators (who, although they caucused with the Democrats, wouldn’t necessarily vote in lockstep) – and two of the Democrats (Manchin and Sinema) seemed more interested in obstructing things than in the party’s agenda.

    You’d have a better argument if you’d brought up the ACA, IMO. The numbers in Congress favored the Dems more in 2009-2011.
