And what about all the Democratic obstructionism before the Dems regained Congress? Both parties will always do the same.
The GOP is on pace to about triple the amount of filibusters ever mounted in a single session. So no, this is not the norm, not even close - no party ever taken obstructionism to this level before.
All I can deduce from that is that despite the best efforts on the part of Democrats to get things done, Republicans seem to be determined to ensure that bog all
gets accomplished
