> Are you arguing that only Republicans have controlled Congress singe Bush Jr was in office?

Republicans have been able to stop congress from doing anything they didn't like since... 2010.

They can't even get their shit together to pass legislature when they control congress, but they've always been able to prevent it from passing legislature, or exercising oversight. Just like they are doing right now.

Both sides have been able to stop congress if I'm not mistaken (I don't think we've had a super majority for a while now).

The republicans have been more willing to pull that lever, but the system is designed such that its a perfectly legal lever to pull.
