Democrats are NOT obstructing one fucking thing. NOTHING. They do not have the votes. The republicans hold all the power, 100%.
The WH, Congress, and every pissant right wing yakker are LYING to you when they say Dems are obstructing.

i wish we would obstruct as much as possible. of course, mostly, democrats are just doing their job, following proper procedures, such as trying to actually vet appointees. it's just that, when democrats are merely doing the job they're supposed to be doing, republicans call it "obstructionism", because we're not letting them bypass us and the law entirely.
