Could he have done more than “encourage” RBG?
Obama not fighting for his Supreme Court appointment is a lot more than indirectly responsible for all of this. He abdicated his duty to execute the office and fucked us all in doing so.

Look, I’m not going to say Obama is blameless, but come on man. You’re kind of victim blaming here.
Mitch McConnell and the GOP are responsible.

Ah, we’re to “blame Obama for this” instead of blaming the senators who outright refused to look at Supreme Court Justices for a year.

Lots of people share blame but Obama did not fight for it at all, which amounts to appeasement. There should have been a Supreme Court case about it.
