Understood. But aren't 5 of the Supremes appointed by Republicans? And didn't Thomas get through a democrat controlled Congress, if I recall correctly? This is not my prime issue. I look at past actions, not what might occur.

Actually 7 were.

Rehnquist was appointed by Nixon, good choice. The ultra liberal Stevens was appointed by Ford, no surprise there. O'Connor was appointed by Reagan as the fulfillment of a campaign promise, she turned out to be a big disappointment. Scalia was then appointed by Reagan, good chocie there. Reagan then nominated Bork and as stated earlier Oldsmobile Ted sank his nomination, and Kennedy finally was appointed by Reagan, wishy washy disappointment and he is also a good friend of liberal Harvard professor, Laurence Tribe.

Next came Souter, another disappointment but in defense of Bush 41, there is a plethora of evidence that he was snookered by McCain mentor, former NH Senator Warren Rudman. Next came Clarence Thomas, who the demos smeared with their usual vile tactics.

Ginsburg and Breyer were appointed by Clinton and have beecome stalwarts of the liberal wing of the court.

It should be! The rats can't get any of their agenda through the legal way(legislation)so they use the liberal courts. It is their raison d etre'.

The battle for the courts that is shaping up to be a doozy, will have implications that will last for decades. It cannot be lost. If their are constructionists on the court all the unconstitutional laws can be reversed. I think by your tagline, this is what you want.

Oh!! And by the way all the scotus judges that raised their hands and swore to uphold the Constitution and then made activist decisions should be impeached. It is not their job as pointed out by the framers to make law, it is only to determine the constitutionality as written!!Makes no diff who appointed them!!

One Judge, Breyer just made a statement on national television that he thought our constitution should be more in line with our friends across the pond. Dwell on that when you say it is not my issue!! I say this with no sarcasm, I say it to inform. and again is in line with your tag line
