[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] Omega's correct on both counts. The majority opinion in [i]Kelo vs. City of New London[/i] consisted of Stevens, Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg, and Breyer. Of those, the liberal wing of the court is usually listed as Stevens, Souter, Ginsburg, and Breyer. Dissenting were Rehnquist, Thomas, Scalia, and O'Connor. Of them, Rehnquist, Thomas, and Scalia are usually considered the conservative wing. Kennedy and O'Connor are usually the swing votes on the court. With Omega's second point, the two best examples are justices Souter and Stevens. Stevens was appointed by Ford; Souter was appointed by George H. W. Bush. Both are more liberal than the presidents that appointed them. Another example that come to mind are Earl Warren, who was much more liberal than Eisenhower, who appointed him as chief justice. I can't think of any nominally liberal president that appointed a much more conservative justice, though. [/QB][/QUOTE]
