Predicting the supreme court would become more conservative during a conservative presidency and senate was not a hard prediction. Ginsberg was known to be in poor health, but I guess you could count that as a successful prediction.

But the other details are all wrong. There hasn't been a Protestant on the supreme court in awhile, let alone a fundamentalist.

Are you saying that Catholics can’t be pro-life fundamentalists? That’s definitely false.
Christian fundamentalism comes from the protestant tradition. Pro-life isn't limited to christian fundemantalism.
Catholic fundamentalism exists, and is remarkably similar to protestant fundamentalism despite having theoretically different theological arguments - they're the ones arguing that Pope Francis is wrong about things, and more generally they are the ones who disagree with the changes of Vatican II.
