"right-thinking Supreme [appointments]

DOn't count on it. Dick Viguerie, who was 100% correct about Reagan's disastrous nomination of "Sodomy Sadie" O'Connor, has also predicted that Bush's first Supreme nomination will be just as bad.

Predicting the Republicans will make poor Federal judgeship nominations
is like predicting the Democrats will engage in lies and demagoguery.

And yet, even Bush 1 got us Thomas, and Reagan did give us Scalia. if Bork wasnt borked, Reagan would have looked even better, with only Oconnor being the wobbly one. not 100%, but we got conservative appointments. ...
we got breyer and Ginsburg out of Clinton, horrible liberals through and through. one more Clinton appointee and we'd have a USSC much like Canada's and European courts. gack.

Again and again we see that with "conservative" Presidents we get much less than 100% of what we hope for.
With Democrat Presidents we get close to 0% of what we want, and close to 100% of what we fear.
