An Interesting Pattern Has Emerged With Amy Coney Barrett

We’re about to have 3 Bush v. Gore alumni on the bench of the Supreme Court. How impartial is that?

I’ve noticed a strange thing lately. Some of the people who were involved in the legal proceedings of the hotly contested election in 2000, between George W. Bush and Al Gore, have gotten some really plum positions. As you may recall, two of them were engaged in the legal effort to stop the vote recount in Florida, just enough to let George “Dubya” Bush win the election. Two of them now sit on the Supreme Court: Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Amy Coney Barrett also worked on that legal team as reported by CNN on October 17th. I had known about this for a few weeks. I knew about Kavanaugh being on that team for months, and CNN has a video of him talking about the case before the Supreme Court in 2000. I had also known that John Roberts was on the same legal team as a result of the research I did on an article about Ted Cruz years ago. Cruz was also on that team, and I have heard that he is on the shortlist should Trump win another term and another seat opens up.

I have seen John Roberts vote in ways that seem contrary to the people that put him there. He seems to have a conscience but it's hard to tell. His public statements say that he’s doing what he can to preserve the integrity of the court. He knows why he’s on the bench, he helped to secure a Republican…
