He just picked up Rmoney's.
Senator Mitt Romney argued that it was “appropriate” for the court to have a more conservative bent to represent a “center right” country.
“It’s also appropriate for a nation that is, if you will, center right to have a court which reflects center right points of view,” Romney told reporters on Capitol Hill.
But as a Daily Beast reporter noted, both Trump and Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, lost the popular vote by millions of votes.
And while Republicans make up a majority of the Senate, they actually represent a minority of the country, so it’s unclear the US is truly “center right.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2020/sep/22/donald-trump-joe-biden-ruth-bader-ginsburg-coronavirus-covid-19-live-updates

why dont we just ditch the USSC? Since you love the popular vote so much
put out an app in the app store that allows the popular vote folks press to vote on every case that shows up there.

I remember Bill Clinton's election and was informed by white college educated ladies
that they couldn't possibly vote for him because Howard Stern supported him but Howard wore a dress on the cover of his book so he must be gay so Clinton must be gay too.
That is why I do not think much of the popular vote thingy.
