Had Al Gore or John Kerry been elected president, Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito would not be on the Supreme Court of the United States.
Were that the case, two activist justices named by either Al Gore or John Kerry would presently be sitting on the bench.
The Court would have ruled that Kentucky’s Lethal Injection system for capitol punishment is cruel and unusual punishment, and the DC Gun Control Law would be affirmed.
Barely mentioned so far at this stage of the campaign, the future make-up of the Supreme Court of the United States for decades to come will hang on who wins the presidency
.
Food for thought as the general election approaches.
