Conservative judges will be Bush's legacy. Not a bad one to have but every judge now will be a real fight thanks to the darn Rinos.

No matter what you think of Bush, ya gotta tank him for his appointments. And, hopefully, he'll get at least one more SCOTUS pick.

""Liberal" judges would generally seek in their rulings to extend the freedoms of abortion, gay rights, the rights of women and minorities and freedom of speech, Carp explained. "Conservative" jurists, by contrast, would prefer to limit such rights."

Let me guess. Carp is a lefty.

CORRECTION..."Liberal" judges would generally seek in their rulings to extend the freedoms of abortion, gay rights, the rights of women and minorities and freedom of speech, Carp explained. "Conservative" jurists, by contrast, would prefer to not make up rights and laws, properly leaving such fabrications to be handled by the legislature.

I hope Harriet Miers gets her due in this; she has been instrumental in selecting this broad swath of conservative judges.

Judges appointed by President George W. Bush are the most conservative on record when it comes to civil rights and liberties

They say that like it's a bad thing.

...the overall tone of the judiciary should be more conservative three years from now than it is today

Yes! Hopefully that means fewer cases will be heard by the Supreme Court. The Supremes can spend their time overturning cases from the 9th circus.

Odd; I thought "Liberal" judges would seek to expand the law by twisting the Constitution to conform to thier agenda, and "Conservative" judges would seek to contain the law within the strict limits of the Constitution.

An example would be "hate-speech crimes", where Liberals would limit freedom, by placing restrictions on the First Amendment; while Conservatives would expand (or maintain) freedom by insisting that "Congress shall make no law ...abridging the freedom of speech,..." means EXACTLY that.

What is it that they say about "garbage in, garbage out"? The entire premise of this bogus study is faulty. They may have a useful definition of "Liberal judges", but true "Conservative judges" would not be ruling based on desired outcomes, but rather would be ruling based on the facts and the law.

In other news, blogger journalists tend to be much more conservative than the Media Insdustry that is 90% liberal.

Can't believe they wasted time and energy on this study.

Judges appointed by President George W. Bush are the most conservative on record when it comes to civil rights and liberties, according to a new study by a political science professor at the University of Houston.

I'm glad I came upon this sentence.

The data on trial court decisions were taken from a database consisting of more than 75,0000 opinions published in the Federal Supplement by almost 1,800 judges from 1933 through the fall of 2005.

I guess the comparers didn't bother with the justices from the first 150 years of our country.
