(11,767 posts)This has been a coordinated undertaking by the Federalist Society and other right wing groups for a long time. Perhaps fortuitous timing, but definitely not just lucky.
Mitch McConnell unethically blocked President Obama from filling Ruth Bader Ginsberg's seat. The nomination was held up for almost a year because we were in an election season. The same Mitch McConnell pushed through the Coney-Barrett nomination while the 2020 election was literally under way. Kavanaugh's appointment was tainted by an FBI investigation that glossed over likely proof that he was a serial sexual abuser and that he lied in his testimony during confirmation.
Luck had likely little to do with the Court we have now. Conservatives have been planning and coordinating a right wing takeover of the judiciary at every level for decades.
While many Conservatives (at least in leadership) are also fundamentalist Christians, their main objective has always been power. They use the religious element y using religion as a carrot and stick for their followers.
