Right, I’m very forgetful I apologize, I suppose from Sept 25 2009 to February 4th they had 58 + 2 making 60, Although technically Roland Buris wasn’t actually appointed to the vacant seat left by Obama until January, meaning they were filibuster proof for 2 months.
During that time very few laws were passed but the number of Public Law numbers went from 111-63 to 111-138, most of them being the appointment of new government postal buildings and a couple veteran affairs buildings, but also including mandates Human Rights that the Justice Department had to start respecting.
I feel like they could have done better with more time than that, but you’ve made an excellent point and I concede there.
Last time they had 60 seats they waited until someone died so they didn’t have 60 seats anymore.
