It's a new term invented for what would happen if Democrats take the Senate but Trump wins the White House (as opposed to lame duck, get it?). The odds of that are very slim IMO (because the GOP odds of taking the senate are much higher than Trump winning), but it would mean Obama gets 17 days in January with a Dem Senate majority, which would allow him to approve dozens of long delayed court appointments. Unfortunately, the federal court dockets are overburdened because judicial seats are sitting vacant all over the country because Mitch McConnell refuses to hold votes on them. He doesn't give reasons why they're unqualified-- the fact Obama appointed them is enough apparently. He wasn't even willing to compromise with Merrick Garland on SCOTUS, which has led to a rash of 4-4 decisions and circuit splits and confusion about the law across the country.
