You won’t find an example of ANY judge that opined in a way that anyone would agree with 100% of the time.

There are different types of conservative justices. Textualism is different than Originalism which is different than Libertarianism which is different than Populism.

Scalia voted with arch liberals Brennan and Marshall in Texas v. Johnson (burning the American flag is free speech) in the same case that William Rehnquist dissented.

Scalia and Rehnquist were two different types of Conservative jurists.

Thomas and Scalia voted with three liberals in Kyllo (using a FLIR on a home) while arch liberal John Paul Stevens dissented in that case.

Scalia and Thomas joined Kagan, Ginsburg and Sotomayor in Florida v. Jardines when it came to using a drug sniffing dog on a home.

Alito was in the dissent in that case.

Byron White is another example of a Justice that is almost impossible to classify. He dissented in Roe, wrote the majority opinion in Bowers, and he generally hated substantive due process. Yet he often voted liberal when it came to race.

Constitutional ideology is far too complex to break down into a perfect left/right bracket like the moron class on both sides likes to pretend.
