Nixon/Reagen put on a slew of justices, but since then (I think) each president has replaced two, which has kept it fairly stable. And consistent.
I think the worst news for the Libs is that 2 of the 4 left-leaners on the court are the 2 oldest Justices left (RBG, Breyer). Both are older than Souter who stepped down 9 years ago. When Trump is reelected in 2020 (barring the recession Mahier is hoping for) We could easily see a 7-2 split by the end of his Presidency.
