Remember the "salad days" of 2009-10, when the Dems had a 59-41 Senate majority (and briefly, a 60-40 filibuster-proof majority) and a 76-seat House majority?
If only they knew what was coming - they could have used their massive majorities to repeal the Comstock Act, maybe even guarantee abortion rights, enact SCOTUS reform, protect and expand voting rights, abolish the Senate filibuster, and more.
