Your miserable fact of the day:
The last time a Democratic president got to fill the seat of a departing conservative Supreme Court justice was in 1962.
(it was Byron White)
I have a great NFL publications book from '74 w article on White. Johnny (Blood) McNally was his teammate & was part of a group talking about how to go about possibly drafting White (who could take 0 part in any hint of a campaign) for the Dem POTUS nomination if a better candidate didn't come along
