This thread seems to be about the Citizens United ruling that happened during the George W. Bush administration. He nominated 2 justices, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito. Congress confirmed them. There were 7 other justices from previous administrations that he had zero influence on.

We can ignore anyone stating historical facts such as the Bushes directly nominated 3/5ths of the justices who voted in favor of Citizens' United and their ally for the previous few decades was responsible for nominating the other 2 who voted in favor.
