In reading about the recent Supreme Court nomination it occurred to me that conservatives always fear that their nominations will move to the left ...i.e. Justices Kennedy, O'Connor and Souter ...more than liberals ever fear that their nominations will move to the right.

What could be the reason for this? It seems strange. Hmmm....

Maybe a life-long appointment insulated from politics allows judges to truly interpret the original intent of the Constitution, as it should be applied today.
