Nominating nonleftist Justices is the basic duty of a Republican President and not all that hard when you have the Senate under your control. It would be much harder for Trump to go and pick a leftist Justice if for some reason he wanted to since that would enrage his entire network.

Do you lavishly praise grocery store clerks for bagging groceries adequately or fast food workers for filling your order correctly? Alito, a Bush nominee was the intellectual powerhouse behind the overturn of Roe v Wade. Alito and Gorsuch are more conservative and a greater force on the Court than Kavanaugh and Barrett who are Roberts fanboys.

One could just as easily credit McConnell for Dobbs as Trump. McConnell kept Scalia's seat open. And of course, RBG deserves credit too for staying too long and dying on Trump's watch.

Any Republican president would've given us three ideologically-similar judges as vetted by the Heritage Foundation.

Heck, Trump talked about putting his 80-year old liberal sister Maryanne (a retired federal judge) on the Supreme Court! "She'd be great!" he said about her. Fortunately, this bad idea was quickly snuffed out.
