The Bush family hated conservatives. Those 2 guys alone ruined a whole argument. But nonetheless, liberal judges get passed astronomically higher by non-liberal senate members than conservative judges do by non-conservative senate members.
Even with those 2 jackasses it's still true, but the numbers are watered down.
I cut this off to be during my lifetime but the whole link is below:

Democrats definitely knew Roberts was a treacherous piece of shit human being.
Apparently the same about Souter elected by Bush 1:
He was nominated for the Supreme Court without a significant "paper trail" but was expected to be a conservative Justice. Within a few years of his appointment, Souter moved towards the center and eventually came to vote reliably with the Court's liberal wing.
Lol, Bush family: Hated by both sides. What a bunch of losers. I was genuinely shocked when Jeb Bush ran for president.
The lesson is, even when Republicans run a non-conservative for President (the whole Bush clan), Democrats will shit on him all 4-8 years. The revisionist history is rich on that one. Now Democrats pretend like only Trump was a bad Republican president, and Bush wasn't raked across the coals (in hindsight rightfully so, but for probably different reasons from my perspective), all day every day. It doesn't matter who is a Republican president, he will get shitted on relentlessly, until the next Republican is elected, and they treat him even worse than the last guy, then pretend like the last guy was treated fairly.
