Depends upon what you believe is moderate. In the spectrum between neo-Bolsheviks on the left and the "conservative" branch of state authoritarianism on the right [e.g. Renquist, Scalia and Burger] one hopes that in between there is a group that recognizes the Constitution, Rule of Law and civil liberties as enshrined in the Constitution. - and it is their fear of OUR state power boot-licking extremists that allows then to keep putting their socialist power boot-licking extremists on the Supreme Court]
