They didn't listen because the mostly-conserative-catholic Fed Soc got Bush and Trump to put a bunch of hard Conservative Catholic Fed Soc folks on the court with an agenda.

We live in a weird point of history - back in the 60's, some folks fretted about whether Kennedy, if elected President, would simply be a puppet of the Pope.
