It depends. I have supported conservative nominees when I felt the court was out of balance.
The bottom line is this: The Supreme Court should not be left or right. That said....whenever the court is out of balance, then that balance needs to be restored.
But wouldn't the balance be restored by appointing a logical and objective nominee that doesn't legislate from the bench? Ultimately their ruling would be in favor of what is lawful, wouldn't that be better then having a liberal vote against or for anything that is convenient for the liberal ideology? A liberal is retiring, so appointing another liberal just keeps the court the same. I don't mind a liberal being appointed so long as they out their liberalism on the shelf and make rulings apart from their ideology and according to what the law and Constitution say.
