Actually, Barret is no surprise. She is not a conservative on anything but abortion. The surprise is Kavenaugh siding with the conservatives. This court has two real conservatives, Alito and Thomas; three radical leftists, Brown, Soromeyer and Kagan; and four wishy washies: Roberts, Kavanaugh, Barrett and Gorsuch.
Hmmm ...
Alito: Nominated by George H.W. Bush.
Thomas: Nominated by George H.W. Bush.
Brown: Nominated by Joseph R. Biden.
Sotomayor: Nominated by Barack Hussein Soetoro Odinga Obama
Kagan: Nominated by Barack Hussein Soetoro Odinga Obama
Roberts: Nominated by George W. Bush
Kavanaugh: Nominated by Donald J Trump
Barrett: Nominated by Donald J Trump
Gorsuch: Nominated by Donald J Trump
Gorsuch is probably the third best of the nine.
