i think that it is correct that if you look at the long arc of the supreme court's history, it is not a never ending stream of liberal defeats over and over again in every single individual case. You know, historically, the party that appointed a justice wasn't necessarily a great predictor of how justice would vote on the supreme court. And i think that both political parties have gotten very, very good at figuring out what kind of judges they need to appoint to get the results that they want.
