the supreme court once had a very strong liberal hold but now will likely have a very strong conservative hold. yet what is "liberal" and what is "conservative" have been in flux as well. for example, a neocon warhawk on stage supporting a democrat candidate and fawned over by a "liberal" media would have been unthinkable in the bush era. although neocons are basically big government liberals who grew weary of liberal domestic policy. so it fits better than most "liberals" would care to admit.
