gore and shelby versus county? pamela: the composition of the supreme court at that time of shelby county and its predecessors are a product of the 2000 election. it is hard to figure out who would have been nominated because three of the justices who had replaced since bush v. gore were voluntary departures from the supreme court. as many of you know, justices seem to be more and more timing those voluntary departures in various ways. the chief justice's departure was not a voluntary departure. he died in office. very hard to know who would have been present by 2004, but pretty clear i think that coming in 2005, democrats had held the , even if republicans had won the 2004 election, john roberts would not have been position to go onto the supreme court. because as a lawyer from private practice, he would not have had the same profile he had as a judge on the d.c. circuit. that would be a very different court. we know that in part because he wrote the lower court decision in shelby county upholding the constitution
