Bush appointed Roberts and Alito.
I wonder if Citizens United would have come about to cause such damage had Gore been able to appoint two different justices.
I know that's not climate related, but it's a pretty big deal result of the 2000 election shenanigans.
Citizens United and Voting Rights Act both. Even with Trump's nominees we would currently have a 5-4 Liberal court.
We would still have Roe Vs. Wade.
Liberals would have "played it fair" and been all "across the isle" and appointed on "conservative" (reactionary corporatist) judge together with the corporatist judge they appoint.
Democrats could add more supreme court judges and run with that but they don't want to. They can not just run on "not trump" and win.
Fyi I think it's aisle.
Yet another fuck up by the Boomers. Interesting how it always come back to them being a piece of shit generation.
