if Clinton got to choose scotus justices instead of Trump, RvW would not have been overturned.

doubt

Where the fuck are all you liberals coming from?

Not a liberal, I'm not even sure you know what a liberal is.

Clinton would have no incentive and nothing to gain by overturning RvW, and people don't usually do things without an incentive.

Trump was highly incentivized because his entire political culture is about "winning" and "making the liberals cry", and overturning RvW did make his voterbase feel like they got a giant win and it did make liberals cry.

It would have been done anyway though. It was the court and Clinton wouldn't have been able to put any other judges in anyway. And yes you are a liberal (at best).

That's just false. Two justices were appointed by Trump, one of which replaced RBG and she died. The other would arguably still be Kennedy because he wouldn't have retired under Clinton, and he was probably less reactionary than Kavanaugh (time will tell). Also, Trump appointed a massive amount of lower court judges and that greatly affects what cases even make it up to the Supreme Court. A 5-4 majority by conservatives is wildly different than a 6-3 majority with massive lower court support.

I don't know how you can say "Clinton wouldn't have been able to put any other judges in anyway" when we know that she would have replaced RBG.
