Legacy of Reagan, Bush I and Bush II....

Reagan: Kennedy & Scalia; Bush I: Thomas & Beyer; Bush II; Alito & Roberts. What the GOP doesn't destroy, the conservative justices will. Elections come and go; the justices on Supreme Court and their decisions go on for decades.

Appointed by Bill Clinton in '94.
Just as worrisome is how the Repubs have managed to get their appointments to the Appeals and District Courts through, while stalling a high percentage of Clinton and Obama's. only a small number of cases make it to the Sumpreme Court, amNd much of the day to day law is created by the lower courts.

The current court has 2 Reagan, 1 Bush 1, 2 Clinton, 2 Bush 2, and 2 Obama appointees. All the liberal wing were appointed by Dems, the entire conservative wing appointed by GOP.

America has no credibility when a creature such as scalia can be on the supreme court and a mental midget moron of a war criminal, bush, can be president(with scalia's help)! Enough to shame the human race!
