“Conservatives have been “close” to winning in court for a half a century.”
We are discussing the 9th CC. The current spread is 16 Dem and 13 Rep. My understanding is there are in the process enough Rep appointees to swing the Court from D to R.
This is the first Republican President to SERIOUSLY make the effort to turn the Courts back to the straight and narrow after so many yrs of allowing for the Leftward drift.
So let’s see what happens in the next several yrs before we give up as you seem to have done.
Not giving up on the President. IMO we put way too much importance on appointees when that is really never going to solve the problem. We have been burned repeatedly by supposed conservative judges. Like I said when the chips are down you can count on the courts to side with the leftists and that is never going to change. There are many many republicans that think if we can get one more conservative judge on SCOTUS that they would overturn roe v wade, nope never happen. Even kavanaugh has been a bit of a disappointment. Remember when republicans were touting the great conservative white knight John Roberts? How did that work out for us? So all those conservative appointments being made by President Trump. Most of them ain't conservative! Like 9 out of 10 most.
