Because you want a liberal activist who will legislate from the bench, obviously.

Judicial philosophy is an ideology, by definition.

Clinton appointed two very liberal judges to the bench, one of whom replaced an anti-Roe vote. That's not consensus building. Bush will appoint someone in the mold of Scalia and Thomas, as he said he would throughout the campaign.

Eh:

Liberal wing—Stevens, Souter, Breyer, and Ginsburg
Conservative wing—Scalia, Thomas, and Rehnquist
Swing votes—Kennedy and O'Connor
