Right right.
I wonder what kind of Justice Douglas Ginsburg would have made.
I've seen some freepers on this thread complain "Reagan gave us Justice Kennedy". Technically true, but Kennedy was Reagan's 3rd choice, and he had to deal with a RAT controlled Senate that was determined to destroy anyone to the right of Nelson Rockefeller. Liberals stuck to their guns in 1986 and its clearly paid off for them big time 30 years later.
If anything, I'd say Reagan made a much bigger mistake in 1981 with Sandra Day O'Connor. Republicans controlled the Senate at the time, he was determined to have "a woman" on the court, and insisted on Renquist's old law school buddy. Several conservatives at the time expressed concerns about O'Connor, but Reagan didn't listen.
And George W. Bush's appointments were comparatively much worse -- he had a GOP controlled Senate and his FIRST choices were John Roberts and Harriet Miers. We only got Alito because conservative activists refused Miers and twisted his arm to appoint someone reliable.
