Yep two were.... But the Bush appointee didn't vote for the decision as you kept insisting.

It is a natural assumption, given the fact that he put David Souter on the SC--and really wasn't all that enthusiastic about fighting for Clarence Thomas (who was brought in by Reagan) during his hellish confirmation hearing; if you remember it was Republican senators like McCain, Hatch (and another good Republican FReepers love to trash) Arlen Specter who really stood up for him against Anita Hill's lies. I am by no means a liberal (rather a progressive conservative who, like many FReepers I voted for Algore's Republican opponent) but unlike many on the far-right I keep my eyes open to the facts. And one clear fact is that George I did not make that many good judicial appointments and I remain dubious that the apple will fall far from the tree when it comes George II's turn. As I write this I note that a SC vacancy will come open soon, so let's see how he does--whether or not he really stands up for folks like Judge Gonzales, et al, or whether they just become more liberal cannon fodder who are left to twist in the wind.
