12. That would have been 2020 to 2022 when we had control of House, Senate and White House.

And we could have stopped it. If it weren't for old line, stuck in the past, Democratic party traditional thinking. If we break the Senate filibuster, Congress amends the judiciary act to allow Biden to appoint five more Supreme Court justices. That does several things for us. It saves Roe. It stops the ridiculous and totally unconstitutional Presidential immunity ruling. If they pick up the insurrection charges, that gets fast tracked, along with stolen documents if they want, and he's convicted and in prison before the mid-terms, tagged with sedition and "insurrectionist" and ineligible ever to run again.

There are a lot of other things they could have done. Legislation to prevent government shutdowns as budget threats.

It would have stopped the destruction going on now.
