History didn't start there, but that's when the winds started turning such that they had actual influence. Before then they were just some fringe group without power.

their power started around when Phyllis Schlafly got going. The Federalist Society spent 4 decades stacking the courts. It is not a new problem or development, the rot is deep and liberals need to understand that if you want to actually address anything.
