Re: “Each party nominates someone fully vetted in their political philosophy.”

LOL!

Eisenhower - Earl Warren

Eisenhower - William Brennan Jr.

Nixon - Harry Blackmun

Ford - John Paul Stevens

GHW Bush - David Souter

To this list, I will also add Potter Stewart (Eisenhower), Warren Burger (Nixon), Anthony Kennedy (Reagan), and Sandra Day O'Connor (Reagan) as centrist or center-left “swing voters.”

George W. Bush tried, and failed, to nominate Harriet Miers, who was almost certainly a centrist, or worse.

I think the jury is still out on John Roberts, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh.

The Democrats have made only one Supreme Court mistake in the last 70 years - Kennedy nominated Byron White in 1963. White turned out to be a centrist.

I don't know enough about most of the Truman and Roosevelt nominees to have an informed opinion, although William O. Douglas (Roosevelt) was clearly one of the most Hard Left Supremes in American history.
