I am becoming more and more curious whether or not the G.W. Bush administration and the GOP majority Senate - 2003 to 2007 - failed in penetrate the Liberal majority in the courts, due to a lack of will, or to the choices of the appointments made.

I think certainly lack of will (unwillingness to adopt different rules) was part of the reason, but unlike Trump I think quite a number of G.W. Bush appointees were not of a “Federalist” mode, as are most of Trump’s. Certainly, and primarily, John Roberts has been a great disappointment to Conservatives and often applauded by Liberals.

I read something today where a top Dim was claiming that one result of the Horowitz report is that clearly, to that Dim, there is no “deep state”. I would suggest that given the abuses the Horowitz investigation acknowledges, that only a functioning deep state would have sat on its hands for those abuses. Were there not such a deep state at the DOJ and FBI, the “whistleblowers” would have been cascading out of the woodwork all over those two institutions.

Conversely, the RINOS seem to pretend the rest of us do not see that they are captives of the Democrats and particularly the Democrats’ programs, not their opponents, but persons who simply want to manage the Democrats’ government agendas better than the Democrats do.

From the RINOS aligned with the Dims we get the deep state they both protect and the never ended, never killed Democrats’ programs creating political dependencies propped up by federal industrial and personal subsidies.

It’s been said that Trumps chosen the very best Constitutional Judges surpassing Bush and other Presidents.

Of course the Dems will always deny or ‘pretend’ there’s no deep state. Those crying the loudist are often by those who are just pawns among them and generally incompetant to say the least...they say and do what they’re told.

Your post was quite interesting....thank you.
