They could have rammed this through in Obama's first couple of years when they had as many as 58 Senators. Would have been easy to flip a McCain, a Susan Collins or a Lisa Murkowski.

They didn't need more Senators. The 2013 passed the Senate with 68 votes and 14 GOP Senators voting in favor. It died in the House.

Sure, not that I made that claim.

Just responding to your suggesting that when local governments adopt sanctuary policies, it's not true that "every time" a judge tells them to stay in their lane. States have the plenary power to refrain from enforcing or administering federal laws, and nearly all sanctuary policies take that form. Judges don't overturn these policies, because the States (or local governments) are staying in their lane. No doubt there are adverse rulings here and there at the margins, but for the most part the core policies of "sanctuary" jurisdictions have been allowed to remain in place.
