Technically Stevens and Souter for Obama but they stopped being seen as Republican judicial picks years ago. Always have Ford credit for defending Stevens as a judge when wingnuts would attack him.

Ford and HW Bush were probably the last of the old time Republicans. Ford from the small town main street types and HW Bush from the old school blue bloods. They’d be more inclined to nominate “liberal” judges and justices than the conservative movement types.
