Interesting take about members of USSC being on party lines. As the GOP members are conservative, and the democrats are liberal, when was the last time a president has nominated someone from the other party to be a supreme court justice?

I doubt if Bush will have any more to nominate since the entire 9-judge panel will serve beyond his presidency.
