You'll hear plenty about Souter and GHWB, but not about Reagan's appointments. Why is that????

I think that if republicans knew back then what they know now about Kennedy and O'Connor and even Souter, then the complaints would have been unending and the same charges against the president about the him turning his back on the people who elected him would have been made.

The answer to the "Why is that!!!" is that the reublican voters learned some very valuable lessons and they are warning the president and presidents in the future that they won't take that kind of 'treason' against the republican voters in the future.

If Roberts and Miers turn out to be another Souter or just close to Souter, then only very conservative presidents need apply to the presidency in the future.

'conservative presidents' should read "conservative candidates"
