Replacing Byron White, one of the only two justices to dissent on Roe v Wade, with ultraliberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg was no problem. Replacing moderate O'Connor with someone even slightly conservative is a huge problem. The ratchet of liberalism must work in only one direction.

Roe vs Wade was 5-4 I believe, not 7-2.

But I see what you mean: Ginsberg ultra-liberal (er, mainstream) replaced White, almost a conservative.
