I don’t object to a modicum of tough, law-and-order Democrats being named to the bench.

What bothers me is similar to what bothers me about SCOTUS justices:

All of the Dems’ picks are reliable liberals, whereas only about HALF the GOP picks are reliable conservatives. Remember that Brennan, Warren, Blackmun and Stevens all were GOP nominees. To find a Dem SCOTUS pick who proved ideologically disappointing to the Prez who nominated him, you’d have to go back a long ways. Frankfurter, maybe?
