What? Did you think this would be good news for Republicans? Not a chance!
You see, for the last 6 years, the only thing Republicans have had to do is say No! to anything and everything President Obama and the Democrats put forth. Thats easy when your base hates the president so much they would happily light themselves on fire if he said Third degree burns are bad for you.
This rage keeps the right wing voting for Republicans as long as Republicans tell them what they want to hear: Obama is a Kenyan Muslim socialist Commie Nazi that stole the elections, government is the problem and were here to stop Big Gubmint blablabla
But now Republicans have to do something they no longer know how to do: Lead.

that's how long Obama has to fill all the vacant cabinet and judicial spots with people who support his legacy, rather than its overthrow
8 weeks, better get started now.
This is not a healthy situation, regardless of how we might like to spin it that way.
