New Era: is was even before the death of Scalia. Dubya nominating hardliner Sam Alito was the first sign of where the Republicans wanted to go. Democrats were alarmed back then but have never done anything about it. Obama's selections were pretty centrist. The Democrats can increase the Supreme Court to 11 all they want but if they keep putting centrists on the bench, it won't make much difference.
