Well why don't you thank the people for voting for Perot who elected Bill Clinton who appointed Gingsburg and Bryer.

Why is it that Freepers tend not to blame the DemocRATs that appoint their very liberal judges while going after Republicans -- Souter should not have been appointed but he came with high recommendations and was from NH not the liberal States surrounding NH. If you remember right, President Bush also appointed and stood behind Clarence Thomas! Did you forget that fact?

Earl Warren was not a liberal when appointed and look what happened to him. If you want to blame anyone, blame the Clintonites/Perot fools that gave us Clinton and two very liberal judges!

I have no use for the Clintons whatsoever; but I never expected them to appoint conservative judges and I wasn't disappointed. Ginsburg and Breyer are as liberal as you can get; it was what was promised to their support groups and what was delivered and I distinctly remember several Rep senators cooing over their qualifications, instead of fighting their confirmations tooth and nail. I EXPECT conservative Republicans to appoint conservative judges to the Supreme Court, not warmed over Brennan/Douglas retreads. Ford was TOLD that JP Stevens was a New Deal liberal, many conservatives objected at the time and typical of this failure, he appointed Stevens anyway. Souter was a nonentity vouched for by Sununu and Bush, Sr, who unlike Ford, at least made amends later with the appt. of Clarence Thomas.
