Time will tell. Prior conservative appointments turned liberal.
Now try addressing my other points, rather than drawing more lines in the sand.
50% tax. OK. That figure must include state and local taxes, since the top rate is 35% in the Tax code. Bush has pushed for cuts consistently since taking office. He can't take all the blame when Congress drops the ball. Congress has the power to tax and spend. He can only do so much.
Blaming Bush for the deficit is like blaming me for global warming. I don't even know where to begin.
As for prior conservative appointments "turning liberal". I think you are confusing Republican appointments with conservative appointments. Stevens and Souter were never conservatives to begin with. SDO and Kennedy were never social conservatives. Roberts and especially Alito are proven conservatives. Roberts even cited the upholding of Miranda as an example of the SC "not being very conservative." I am willing to bet money that both of these guys are the real deal.
I don't always agree with Bush, but he has done a pretty good job.
