I hope so. And it isn't just conservatism. It is maturity and clear thinking. I have felt about our government and courts lately that they make the kinds of decisions that would be made by judges elected from the pool of kids in Neverland. It is just not believeable what nonsensical decisions they would make.
I have a feeling (but only a feeling) that by more conservative judges being appointed it has affected rulings by some of the fence sitters who in the past have fallen in line with liberals. The next couple years will tell the tale IMO.
