Blackmun embraced equal protection for women and came to reject capital punishment. A Nixon appointee, Blackmun became the Supreme Court's most liberal justice after the retirement of William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall. The personality that emerges in Greenhouse's portrayal is that of a self-effacing and scholarly judge, devoid of partisanship, willing to follow his ideas wherever they led him.

More uninformed, dimwitted
spurting. You're regurgitating one paragraph from a review. The author is a liberal, but when you read the whole book, you'd see that her thesis is that Blackmun went from a boring run of the mill republican with traditional ideas to an EXCITING, cool,
liberal who was willing to
rewrite and invent constitutional law. And the idea of him being scholarly, to anyone who has read the detailed criticisms of
Roe, is a
laugh and a half.

The reason that Repugs have done this is because they knew that their far-right candidates didn't stand a prayer of being confirmed. So they appointed several centrist judges instead.

I guess that's how they got scalia and Thomas, huh? You're
clueless.
