(45,251 posts)do with a Supreme Court decision in which Scalia voted, such as Bush v. Gore and Citizens' United, to name only two.
And votes by Democrats confirming other Republican nominees to the SCOTUS bench have nothing to do with the composition of the current SCOTUS bench or with Bush v. Gore and Citizen's. It's all Nader's fault.
Clinton's impeachment for perjuring himself over a blow job he had the arrogance to think he could continue to hide, thereby helping the next Republican candidate, and Gore's inability to win his own home state, let alone win the election indisputably had nothing to do with anything. It was all about Nader's exercising his constitutional right to run for the Presidency and his miniscule percentage of the 2000 popular vote and only that.
No sense anyone arguing with thinking like that, especially when it's repeated after ample, thoughtful and factual responses from DUers. So, I will debate it no further.
