Gerald R. Ford, Jr., called the Stevens appointment as the highlight of his brief administration.

So maybe AOC’s grandchildren can live under 5 more Trump justices who live past their 100s, while grandma AOC long ago went back to bartending after politics fizzled out (and as part of a plea bargain for crimes) and watched the justices confirmed on TV.

>>Why don’t liberal appointees ever turn out to be conservative?<<

Leftist Regressives apply litmus tests to their nominees, Republicans don’t.

It’s long past time for the ‘Pubs to wake up and do the same. Otherwise, we’ll get more phonies such as Stevens, Kennedy, Roberts, and Kavanaugh. Scalia and Thomas are the standards.

Because it is easier to become corrupt than to stand for right.

For the same reason one drop of black paint makes white paint grey.

No amount of white paint will make black paint white.
