Buchanan may have been a weak and ineffective President, but he wasn't an actively malicious and vindictive moron like Trump.

Yeah riiiiight. Just like you would release your tax returns but your advisors caution you against it since they are "under audit".

small "c" conservative, that is. Not necessarily the big "C" Conservatism that the Repub Party has been pushing.

Law is heavily dependent on precedent, and most judges will tend toward not overturning prior decisions. That's why it is so hard to overturn bad decisions. Political parties tend to matter less than more in the grand scheme.

Having said that, I am deeply concerned about what the Repub party has been doing to the Federal Judicial System these last few years, fast tracking Trump appointments after sandbagging Obama appointments. This has been going on for decades, you can track it from when Repubs first started whining about "liberal activist" judges.

He spews out lies and misleading statements time and time again and polls show that increasingly more people believe his B.S. Most of the media don't do a darned thing to stop it. Too late to talk about it later in a TV studio, or write an article about it. Most people only hear the lies. Trump's lies are a virus that need to be stopped before they spread in the first place.

Last time I checked Ford was a republican. He was appointed as FBI Director by republican George W. Bush in 2001 and stayed in that job until 2013. The so called "press" can find out these truths in about 3 minutes with their fucking expensive smart phones and call the bastard out on his lies.
