If justices had fixed 18 year terms, as many have proposed, #SCOTUS would have had conservative majority for all but two of past 35 years (often well to right of Court we actually had).
Impressive -- when did you date it back to? All the way back?

To the 1970s. There would be another brief liberal majority (depending on precose timing) at end of Carter administration
-
But if we don’t know what the popular vote would’ve been with no electoral college, we also don’t know who presidents would’ve been with no SCOTUS-as-electoral-issue
-
Huh? How would SCOTUS not be an electoral issue? With ywo picks a term it would be major issue
-
If it’s exact same for every election, and term-limited, then it’s no longer an issue. Or it’s an issue for everyone equally, so it has less influence on any particular election.

that makes no sense whatsoever
