Bush appointed better judges than Gore would have. But Gore probably would not have invaded Iraq (which, among other things, took our eyes off Afghanistan).
So on balance, you’re probably right.
I think Gore would have invaded Iraq, just as Bush did.
But once Bush did it, the Democrats suddenly were against it.
There were plenty of Democrats speaking out against Saddam, before Bush took over.
None of Gore’s judges would have been confirmed as the GOP held Congress at the time.
He protected his buddies in Saudi Arabia, helped them more than he did Americans.
Don't forget his first choice was his gumada, Harriet Myers, he had to be kicking and screaming to remove her and nominate Alito.
Bush appointed better judges than Gore would haveHow soon we (choose to) forget.
Do you live your life based on appointments of judges? He appointed John Roberts.
That appointment alone negates every good thing and more that Bush has ever done.
