Era of the New Majority

1 critique: Ryan's district has a PVI of R+3. Even when Obama won the district in 2008, he won with over 64% of the vote that year.

SOS.

Looking like Fulop is the Jimmy Carter of New Jersey.

An apt way to describe it.

Woo, Tom Kean! #Kean4Prez2024/28

I'm pretty sure the 25th Amendment requires confirmation of a vice-presidential nominee by both houses of Congress.

That it does.

RIP. Deserved a better fate.

In light of today's news, what does the Supreme Court look like currently?

Great question! I had Scalia retire in 2023 (though it creeps me out that I wrote him dying like right before he did in OTL). Here's the current court and the Presidents who appointed them:

Chief Justice John Roberts (app. 2005 by George W. Bush)
Justice Sonia Sotomayor (app. 2009 by Barack Obama)
Justice Elena Kagan (app. 2010 by Barack Obama)
Justice Kamala Harris (app. 2017 by Hillary Clinton, replaced Ginsburg)
Justice Sri Srinivasan (app. 2017 by Hillary Clinton, replaced Breyer)
Justice Michelle Friedland (app. 2022 by Martin Heinrich, replaced Kennedy)
Justice Douglas Costa (app. 2023 by Martin Heinrich, replaced Scalia)
Justice Paul Clement (app. 2025 by Brian Sandoval, replaced Thomas)
Justice Erin Murphy (app. 2025 by Brian Sandoval, replaced Alito)

Any of these come from schools besides Harvard and Yale?

Harris - UCal
Srinivasan  -  Stanford
Friedland - Stanford
Clement - Yale

If you're talking about Murphy from the MN house, then she went to UW Oshkosh and St. Catherine's.

No, this Erin Murphy was a clerk for Roberts in 2006 or so. I needed a potential conservative jurist under 50 for Sandoval to pick and, well... Slim pickin's

According to her LinkedIn, Georgetown Law School.

^^^ much more research than I am willing/comfortable to do... I should probably start making names up haha

Edit: but thank you for answering the question at hand

All I did was Google "Erin Murphy John Roberts" and it was the first result I got.
