Actually the Bush's have a 50 percent rate on SCOTUS picks. That's better than any democrat's zero percent, but it's far short of good enough.

GWB: Roberts (fail), Alito (pass)

GHWB: Souter (epic fail), Thomas (pass)

Both Bushes had the opportunity to flip the court conservative, if either had wanted to do that.

Yeah, certainly can’t compare with Dutch’s average, right? .333 is a great batting average - why not SC picks?

Please don’t think I’m taking this out on you though, friend. I just get annoyed about the Bush 43 criticism on the SC. Roberts has disappointed in one key area, but he still is far more of a conservative than any of Reagan’s confirmed picks (outside of Scalia). Give me a court of two Roberts clones over O’Connor and Kennedy any day of the week - not to mention whoever HRC would put up there.
