Really?

Is there any reason to believe that Janice Rodgers-Brown, who repudiates the New Deal in its entirety, who some commentators have accused of wanting to revert to Lochner, and who was a trusted aid to Governor Wilson, would have turned into a tie-dyed, bleeding-heart liberal hippie once she was elevated to the Supreme Court?

No, but neither did O'Conner or Kennedy. She is very libertarian, and it is possible she would have objected to parts of the patriot act, and the war powers that this administration claims as part of the war on terror.

BTW, there are I'm sure good conservatives who would not see this as a bad thing. I believe there is somewhat of a division in the conservative party when it comes to some of these issues, between those who lean more libertarian, and those who are more law-and-order types. I'm not asserting this to be true, just seems to be so.

Purity would divide us because we don't have the same pure positions. I believe the Terri Shiavo case proved that.
