And virtually all of the big court cases in recent years have been 5-4 which doesn't imply a great deal of control like you want to make everyone believe.
Oh bull pucky Lyle,everybody knows how the high court breaks,and by what party affiliation
Scalia aint no Democrat,nor is Roberts or Thomas,or Alito. Stevens is a Ford appointee,Souter is a Bush 1 appointee,Kennedy was Reagan one.
So all but two justices are Republican nominees
And the guys who actually do the most legislating from the bench are Scalia and thomas.
