I disagree. I think the reasons the judiciary at the Federal and SCOTUS level is so out of balance has less to do with who is submitting someone for consideration, and far more to do with the process of how they get there.

Look at the absolute horror-show, knock-down, drag-out attacks by liberals on Clarence Thomas. Clarence Thomas!

I believe that if conservatives had fought the fights, we wouldn't even have had some pieces of crap submitted that we did. But they didn't. Conservatives and RINO's just rolled over.

And the other poster is correct in my opinion. Reagan didn't have a stellar record either, but I overlook it because Scalia is so good.

Just my opinion.

Reagan appointments were not perfect, but neither Kennedy nor O'Connor were anywhere as disastrous as Souter or Roberts.

What you say about the GOP in Congress rub stamping the Democrats’ leftwing purist appointments (Sotomayer, Kagan, Ginsburg & Breyer) is true - but only half of the problem. It does not explain why the GOP presidents and their staffs did not weed out the Souters and Roberts before nominating them.
