“Of course not. I much prefer a Republican appointed Souter or Stevens like you apparently do. /s

I was thinking more like Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, Alito...

I think the odds are quite a bit better of getting that type of appointee from a Republican than from a Democrat.

Though if you feel otherwise, just sit out the election if you don’t like the Republican nominee, and let’s see who Hillary appoints.

There are 2 liberals appointed by Clinton on the court. All the past and present liberals with the exception of Breyer and Ginzburg going back to Ford have been appointed by Republican presidents, and including two “moderate” Justices appointed by Reagan, Kennedy and O’Connor who voted more with the liberals than the conservatives. Your chances of getting conservatives from a Republican President are not good to start with; from a liberal Republican President, virtually none.
