To: Bring Back Old Sparky
Clinton only nominated two Supreme Court Justices. What's interesting to note is that three of the five in the majority were appointed by Republicans, Justices Stevens, Souter, and Kennedy.

Substitute "disturbing" for "interesting".

Stevens was nominated by Ford to appease the dims in the wake of Watergate. Souter was nominated because he had no paper trail like Robert Bork. (No paper trail = not enough data to determine character = way to hide a slug!) I don't know the circumstances of Kennedy's nomination. I would bet it was for equally stupid reasons.
