Gerald R. Ford, Jr., must be pleased. He said Stevens was the most important accomplishment of his short-lived admnistration.
Ain’t that the truth. If Republicans don’t like the tilt of the court they only have themselves to blame.
Between Ford with Stevens and GHWB with Souter, they may as well have just let the DNC make their SCOTUS appointments for them. Say what you want about GWB, but at least he nominated two conservatives to the bench.
