The least history I know about is regarding Romney. Seems he is a supposed convert to his ideas.
I take it since you are mentioning him that he could be another problem.
Again, Reagan and Bush blew it on a couple of the Justices. Bad advice or maybe Justices hid who they were in interviews, don’t know. All I know is Democrats are going to elect people like Ginsberg on and on.
I think I'd rather Republicans get 7/9 right than Democrats getting 9/9 all wrong IMO.
The court is always a problem. Earl Warren was so diametrically opposed to the man his appointer thought he was getting, that there was a widespread call to imeach him. It never happened.
In California we had to vote out three of our state supreme court justices, including the chief justice. They kept blocking sound legal measures and we tossed them out. Unfortunately in some ways / and fortunately in othters, we can’t do that with the Supreme Court.
The way things are going, this nation’s last days may see a pristine Supreme Court. At least we’ll have that. We’ll also have no borders, laws that are dictated by an American Union that have been approved by the U.N., no self-representation, no rights, no guns, a very neutered access to religion, communistic/socialistic governance of the sort ever honorable U.S. Citizen/and many non-U.S. citizens have fought against for eternity.
Only then, there will be no white hat coming to the rescue.
