Reporter's Notebook: The trio responsible for Supreme Court's conservative majority overturning Roe v. Wade
Fox News
How Trump, Sen. Mitch McConnell and late Sen. Harry Reid bear the most responsibility for a conservative Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. Wade
Speaking frankly, the former President had the least to do with it of the triumvirate. He was the sitting president. When presented with three openings for the Supreme Court, the president tapped three conservative jurists: Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. That titled the Supreme Court dramatically to the right, presenting an essential "6-3" majority on the court.
Any other Republican president facing three vacancies would have done the same thing as Mr. Trump. One can argue whether the former president should have tried to select a "consensus" candidate for the Supreme Court. A nominee who could appeal to Republicans and maybe some Democrats.
