Since the Warren court of the 1950s Republicans have declared their intent to pack US courts with rabid right wingers. In sixty-odd years Democrats have never put forth a strategy to stop them. In 2005 and 2006 John Kerry and Barack Obama led Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee. They failed to meaningfully oppose the confirmations of John Roberts and Samuel Alito, or to make Federalist Society influence upon judicial selection an issue. This is their court too.
