Sorry this guys a bozo second sentence is demonstrably false. The left hasn’t controlled the supreme court since 1968.
How bout the reverse position the extreme right got upset, that they couldn’t use their majority to get what they wanted. They hated Souter, Kennedy, Roberts, O’Conner and Stevens. They had formed institutions to train and generate justices to think how they wanted. While hiding it with law-school mumbo jumbo like ‘originalism’ when they only cared about the result.
They had to generate avenues of graft to get the results they wanted.
” The left hasn’t controlled the supreme court since 1968.”
Speaking of “demonstrably false”, Roe v Wade was decided in 1973.
Yea and what your point? Doesn’t change the FACT that since 1968 Democrats(the left) haven’t chosen more than 4 of the 9 justices on Supreme court.
In fact Row vs Wade was decided 7 vs 2.
Of the 7 were 3 Nixon appointees and 2 Eisenhower appointees.
Of the 2 1 of them was Justice White a Kennedy appointee.
ugh Row vs Wade
Plenty of lefty justices were appointed by various Republican POTUS
“Appointed by Republicans” is not equivalent to “conservative”. The lopsided vote on Roe v Wade is proof of that.
Why would Republicans hate Sandra Day O’Conner? She was a Reagan appointee suggested to Reagan by Justice Rehnquist, who once asked her to marry him.

Not sure if I should be detecting sarcasm with that one. But in case there was none. Here
Conservatives have never much cared for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. They viewed her nomination to the Supreme Court as the result of Ronald Reagan’s ill-advised, because gratuitous, 1980 campaign pledge to appoint the first female justice. During her confirmation hearings in 1981, some conservatives argued that her record as a state legislator in Arizona made it unlikely that she would vote against Roe v. Wade. Her subsequent votes confirmed that suspicion: She reaffirmed Roe in Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) and even divined a kind of constitutional right to partial-birth abortion in Stenberg v. Carhart (2000). Conservative activists tend to regard her as a “moderate,” or even “liberal,” justice, and say that President Bush should avoid appointing another justice like her.
