28. I wish his gang would admit that their mania to elect Bush in 2000

is pretty much responsible for this debacle, since it completely reshaped the Supreme Court and led to Citizens United and the shredding of the Voting Rights Act. We likely wouldn't have Roberts or Alito or Gorsuch or Kavanaugh or Barrett. We can start with Roberts and Alito, because they were directly appointed by Bush.

It's cold comfort knowing that Bolton and has ilk helped create this mess, but it would help if they'd at least accept some blame. That frenzy to get into an Iraq war really messed this country up.
