The reason that he has very little paper trail is because for 12 years the democrats blocked his appointments. That is their bad and his good. Bet they did not expect him to come back to haunt them. This is schadenfreude!!!!
Schadenfreud only applies when you're happy at the misery of others. This appointment doesn't allow me to judge whether I got the SCOTUS nominee I expected from Bush, and I can't feel happy about that.
