With the exception of Thomas and sometimes Scalia Republican presidents have consistently given us those kind of justices--- Souter, Stevens etc. (including Sandra Day O'Connor most of the time). Thomas was actually a happy accident for constitutionalists because I don't think anyone including the first President Bush realized just how dedicated he was to the Founders' vision. I think if George H.W. Bush had realized how different Thomas really was from Souter he wouldn't have nominated him.
