1. backlog turned flash flood

Unconstitutional McConnell obstructed President Obama's appointments.

See, e.g.,:

Senate Republicans Are Breaking Records for Judicial Obstruction

Since taking control of the Senate in early 2015, Republicans have confirmed only 17 federal judges, a historically low number. The Senate confirmed just 11 judges in 2015, the fewest since 1960. There have been only two appellate court judges approved since Republicans took control, with seven appeals court nominations left pending. If the Senate doesn’t confirm any appellate judges this year, it will have confirmed the fewest since the 1897-98 session, when there were just 25 circuit court judges nationwide, compared with 179 now.

Look at the records. That's obstruction with fury or with foresight of meddling.
