As the leader of the Democratic Party, he could have pushed Congress to expand the number of SC judges and then shoehorn some ultra left judges onto the panel, the latter of which the Republicans were able to do. Its strange to me that Republicans can stick together and achieve their goals but Democrats cannot (Im reminded of the time that Republicans refused to anoint Obamas SC choice for months, and then just shoehorned their own choice shortly thereafter).
Dont pretend the president has no power or influence.
Democrats didn't have the Congressional votes to get Obama's pick through. Republicans had all the votes needed to get Trump's picks through. Biden has addressed this numerous times.
As for expanding the courts, that would give some credibility to Republicans depicting him as being part of the "radical left," which of course they'll still try to argue even if it holds no water.
