GW Bush's 2 appointments are the two most Conservative members of the Court.

I'd love to hear how Roberts or Alito are more conservative than Thomas or Scalia.

From the article. The two who disagree the most with the most Liberal member of the court also are the two who agree the most. That means Thomas and Scalia agree more with the Leftist then Alito or Roberts. So if Conservative is opposed by Liberal and you are most opposed to the Liberal Opinions of the Court, what does that make you?

I know, it just grind your gourd to finally actually have to say something positive about President Bush but there it is.

A separate analysis, by the Supreme Court Institute at Georgetown University Law Center, showed that Justice Alito and Chief Justice Roberts had the highest agreement rate of any two justices in the court's nonunanimous cases, 88 percent, slightly higher than the agreement rate between Justice O'Connor and Justice David H. Souter in the first half of the term, 87.5 percent.

Chief Justice Roberts agreed with Justice Scalia in 77.5 percent of the nonunanimous cases and with Justice Stevens, arguably the court's most liberal member, only 35 percent of the time. The least agreement between any pair of justices was between Justices Alito and Stevens, 23.1 percent.
