Talk about the countermajoritarian difficulty: There has been a Republican majority on the Supreme Court for 46 years. A Democrat has held the White House for 20 of those years, and won the popular vote for presidencies with terms spanning 25+ years. https://t.co/lYroLTJL73

This has slightly different dates but the basic fact of long-term Republican control remains.
Reminder: the last time the US Supreme Court had a majority of justices appointed by Democratic presidents was just before the resignation of Abe Fortas on May 14, 1969, over 49 years ago. https://t.co/MYKeYFAng0
