Dear Balding_Eagle,
"The courts and academia still belong to the left."
Well, not quite.
A majority federal judges in the United States were appointed by Republicans.
Six out of nine of the Supreme Court, seven out of 12 of the 11th Circuit Appeals Court, which turned down Terri's appeal, and most of the federal district court judges in the US.
Doesn't seem to have done much good.

Like he said, the courts and academia still belong to the left.

I didn't know the number was that high. Nevertheless, just because a Republican appoints them, for some reason, that doesn't keep them from drifting left.
You wouldn't consider many of them moderates or conservatives, would you? I thought not.
As you pointed out when you said Doesn't seem to have done much good. this is a tough, tough problem that isn't going to be fixed easily.
"A majority federal judges in the United States were appointed by Republicans. Six out of nine of the Supreme Court, seven out of 12 of the 11th Circuit Appeals Court, which turned down Terri's appeal, and most of the federal district court judges in the US."
But most with a Dim Senate, which prevented real conservatives from becoming judges.
We now have both a Republican Senate (more or less) and Republican President. THAT is the difference.
