All the earlier Republican presidents compromised, and as a result we got some terrible Republican appointments, such as Earl Warren, David Souter, and Sandra Day O'Connor.

1. Earl Warren was Eisenhower's first choice.

2. David Souter was certainly a compromise (as was Kennedy to a degree).

3. Sandra Day O'Conner was not properly vetted by Reagan in his haste to appoint a woman to the court.

Nevertheless, we were able to get Rehnquist elevated to Chief Justice (which took a lot) and we got two great conservatives in Scalia and Thomas.

Unfortunately, we gave Clinton every left-wing pinko he asked for, and certainly Hatch was complicit (if only through inaction) in this. IMHO

Hatch DEFINES the worthless check-pants RINO.
