Actually i'd also forgotten McConnell's later Senate rule change.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., used a complex procedural maneuver, known as the nuclear option, to cut debate for lower-level nominees from 30 hours to two hours. The change does not apply to Cabinet-level nominees, federal appeals judges, members of some boards and commissions or the Supreme Court. It also does not change the 60-vote requirement to advance legislation. https://www.npr.org/2019/04/03/709489797/senate-rewrites-rules-to-speed-confirmations-for-some-trump-nominees
It's like blaming a farmer for a tornado taking her barn out.
The Republican blocking Obama's nominations being the tornado, with McConnell paving the way for a tyrant by putting quick eating termites into the place.
Umm, though that doesn't cover the federal appeals court situation.
Still Reid gets the blame from most every quarter.
