Yeah but getting someone on the court isn't a gimme as to how someone will vote when their feet are to the fire. In our lifetime, judges appointed by Republicans have been far more flexible that those appointed by Democrats. Hell I think Sutter out libereled the liberals. Kennedy has never been a lock. O'Connor was never a lock. We know Roberts isn't a lock.
