    Becoming a Supreme Court Justice is probably peak career for most people in law. For any lawyer, it’s a dream come true. Your writings and opinions will be read and discussed for generations. Your biography will become a small part of US history. Amazing.

    But it must lose a tiny bit of luster for the ones who were nominated and confirmed by a president who’s name will go down in history as “generally agreed upon to be one of the worst presidents in the history of the country.” That will also be a part of their legacy and bios.

    • Millions of people, today, consider him the best president that has ever existed, and ever will.monospaced
    • Yes but that’s not how history works. Popularity during presidency is no indicator of how history will view him

    • People keep saying George Bush is a sound lad now because he draws cats and veterans.PhanLo
    • Well, in Bush’s defense, if you have a much worse president shortly after then you move down the list of “worst presidents of all time”
      ********
    • There is no amount of cat paintings that will change the fact that the Iraq war drew the largest protest in US history
      ********
    • ... and broke the records for size of protest in many other countries around the world. History won’t refute those numbers (unless they are beaten one day)

    • History books will not forget that WMDs were never found, and that Iraq had no direct connection to 9/11
      ********
    • History books will not include stories of Bush’s retirement as a fine artist
      ********
    • It can be debated which one is worse...Bush killed hundreds of thousands of people with his stupid wars and tanked the world economy.yuekit
    • Trump radicalized half the country into insane conspiracy theorists and will possibly end up destroying American democracy entirely...it's a close contest.yuekit
