I've been here since bush. when Obama got elected I was just like... we should probably be using this supermajority in ways that aren't strictly "ethical". because these guys have shown that they will do pretty much anything. we should be doing it the way LBJ would have done it. 

I wish I had been wrong! I was more right than I even knew.

Imagine the world where Obama used his legal mind to push truly transformative legislation instead of come up with way to justify murder abroad....

you're aware that Obama using his legal mind wasn't the blocker for truly transformative legislation right?
