I've noticed that almost every MAJOR ruling of the last 10-15 years (if not longer) you see the conservative justices siding with the right's viewpoint and the liberal justices siding with the left's. Yes, there are exceptions, but this seems to be the norm.
This is why when a justice is set or thought to retire during a presidential election cycle, this makes it even more imperative for the Dems and Repubs to win the White House.
I'm not sure what the alternative is. Whether it be justices or presidents, we seem to go in cycles. People think things are going too liberal so they vote conservative. When things get too conservative they vote liberal.
I know it's a generalization...but I think it holds true for the most part.
