How many justices did President Bush specifically nominate that were subsequently confirmed by Congress? Unless it was 5 or more, I fail to see the connection the original post of this thread was trying to make.
EDIT: typo 4 -> 5
- dekhn 2y agoI am not commenting on the part where they attributed the current court makeup to Bush.
- heroprotagonist 2y agoIn the Citizens United v. FEC ruling of 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Citizens United by a vote of 5-4. The justices who voted in favor were: Chief Justice John Roberts - Nominated by President George W. Bush. Justice Samuel Alito - Nominated by President George W. Bush. Justice Anthony Kennedy - Nominated by President Ronald Reagan. Justice Antonin Scalia - Nominated by President Ronald Reagan. Justice Clarence Thomas - Nominated by President George H.W. Bush. These justices constituted the majority that decided to prohibit the government from restricting independent expenditures for political communications.
