Democratic Presidential candidates have won the popular vote in 7 of the last 8 Presidential elections,
yet in that time have only seated 4 of the last 9 chief justices.
2 each by Clinton & Obama.

Going back to Richard Nixon, (D)'s have only seated 4 of the last 20 justices.
2 each by Clinton & Obama.
0 for Carter.

Kind of makes you mad, doesn't it?
