Right, vote Republican so you can get the Justices you deserve.

You have your history backwards. Because the country DIDN'T vote Republican in 1986, the Senate flipped to a Democrat majority, which lead directly to the Borking, which resulted in Kennedy and Souter.

So, go right ahead and "teach them" another lesson this year, and it will be another 20 years before we get another chance to solidify a Supreme Court majority.

Please cite the "history" I introduced that was "backwards".

I never addressed any of that. Do you often debate yourself?

So, go right ahead and "teach them" another lesson this year,

Please cite where I introduced any idea even remotely like that.

Bonus question, who were the Presidents who nominated those two justices?
