Arguments like this, though, are pretty much fruitless ... since you can never really answer the "What if" questions.
This is a very good point. The further back in the past you pick, the cloudier the outcome.

Given that, I would knock off Justice Clarence Thomas during the Clinton administration. Now that would be good clean fun!
