...For the three decades he has sat on the Supreme Court, they have worked in tandem from the bench and the political trenches to take aim at targets like Roe v. Wade and affirmative action. Together they believe that America is in a vicious battle for its founding principles,...Her views, once seen as on the fringe, have come to dominate the Republican Party.
