That's not true...Except Reagan, and why I'm not sure, President's pick the justice who lines up with their moral beliefs ( because that's how the Supreme Court really affects us) and is still acceptable enough to get passed. If give the choice between Charlton Heston or John Roberts, who do you think will get nominated..It's the lesser of two evils. And yes, it works both ways
