(11,464 posts)And he lied
Can you say Gore would have picked Alito and Roberts?
If so, one believes Ralph Nader.
If not, one doesn't
Alito and Roberts and Scalia and Thomas are directly responsible for 100% of every bad ruling (and Scalia/Thomas picked because Jimmy Carter did not win, is directly responsible for 2000.
Do you think Jimmy Carter would have picked any of the 4?
How in the world could Nader say both parties are the same?

I guess the Supremes figure hey, we're not Congress, so it's all good.
