LOL. Cleveland appointed Edward Douglass White, who was a Confederate soldier and KKK member. He was a hardcore racist who voted in favor of Plessy. Is that what Chuck wants on the court?

And to add to your point, William Howard Taft and the Republican Senate ELEVATED White to be Chief Justice in 1910.
So a GOP Senate confirmed a Democrat-appointed justice to Chief. But since a Republican nominated White to be chief, that doesn’t count to Todd.
And of course Taft succeeded his own Chief appointee White in 1921.
