"Hey DUmmies, these are the people you are in favor of. These are the people YOU want on the court."
Actually, I'm sure the DUmmies were originally against Stevens, Kennedy, and Souter's appointments, as all 3 were nominated by supposedly-conservative Republicans. I think both Kennedy and Souter were Reagan nominees.
PING!!!
Actually Souter was nominated by GHWB. Sununu talked Poppy into it because he had no paper trail and could not be slammed like Bork for actually being an intellectual conservative. Bush I was assured that Souter was a conservative, but there was no nagging proof of that in the records.
