You said that he gave us a conservative SCOTUS, so that was good enough for you.

So here's an interesting hypothetical....

Think of the worst Democratic politician that could plausibly mount a Presidential campaign. Someone either proven to be corrupt - a Ray Nagin, a Jim Trafficant - or maybe just the shadiest Democrat that's currently in a high office that hasn't been nailed yet. Whoever you think is just the worst high-level officeholder.

Now imagine you have a magic button. You can push the button, and this person will have won the 2016 election, and the SCOTUS will have a liberal majority. Roe v. Wade is still the law of the land, affirmative action in college admissions is still legal, EPA's authority to cap carbon emissions is still in place, various Clean Water Act and Voting Rights Act protections are still there, etc. But the President - the Democratic President - is a scumbag.

Do you push that magic button? Do you sit there and think of all the women who have suffered, the carbon future of the planet, the protection of minority voters' place in the democratic system....and push that button?
