Concerning Obamacare when Romney put its equal in Mass, the citizens were against it. When it worked, people approved of it. Over 98% of Mass. citizens have health insurance. Republicans never gave it chance to work. They have no replacement. They could put the same plan forward. That would take Obama's name off it, and than its identical twin would be perfectly acceptable to them.

Considering the egos in DC, who is going to tell them to do anything? The Gerrymandered districts guarantees their reelection. The House is answerable to no one now. The Senate is only a little better.

You could years, and years with an eight person Supreme Court. If the Republicans delay the approving a replacement for Scalia for the next year, the Democrats could and probably will filibuster the Republicans nominee/s, if a Republicans wins the election. Treat people the way expect to be treated yourself. The Republicans are pushing this snowball down the hill, and nothing is going to stop it. The egos in DC will guarantee that they will never accept the other person view on anything.

If the Supreme Court has a brain in their head, all controversial cases will be delayed until there is nine person court especially the executive order on immigration. If it goes forward, and there is a 4 to 4 vote on it, the lower court ruling applies, Republicans can say goodbye to the next election. They will get so few Hispanic votes that they will lose.
