In that area, conservative, originalist judges and SC Justices, President Bush even outranks Reagan. There is no Sandra Day O'Connor among his appointees.

For the record, NObody had any expectation that O'Connor was going to drift left as she did. At the time of her nomination she was solidly endorsed and supported by "Mr. Conservative" himself, Senator Barry Goldwater, and the difference between Reagan and Goldwater you MIGHT be able to slide a piece of typewriter paper through.

And need I remind you that before Sam Alito was nominated, that GWB tried to shove one of the Bush family friends down the throats of the American people, the abysmal Harriett Myers? It was only the increasing outrage over her lack of qualifications that forced GWB to change course and go with Alito.

What difference does "nobody had any expectations" have to do with anything?

Sandra Day O'Connor was a token female SC Justice and she was a disaster for conservatism.

Bush chose both Roberts and Alito.

Alito was Bush's choice and nominee, and no one else's.

In addition, his choices for the federal bench were stellar, and have been recognized by conservative groups as such. He also had a number of great nominees that the Dems in Congress blocked.

You can't in good conscience argue with his judicial conservatism.
