While Stevens was affiliated with the Republican Party (and certainly considered himself a political conservative), he was never and never pretended to be an originalist. And nobody asked Stevens if he was an originalist, because nobody cared if he was.
And if he had been, all he could have done was help in a holding action against left-wing judicial activism. That's all strict precedence justices can do - try to hold back the leftist tide for a few years until they're replaced. Right-wing activist judges? Never even mentioned as a possibility by anyone.

Kelo is enough to justify asking a potential nominee their thoughts or views on a thing or two.
