Opps... Left talking point misses wide left?

In 2005, George W Bush nominated John Roberts as the Chief Justice to the USSC. Later that same year, George W Bush nominated Samuel Alito as an associate USSC Justice.

Both of these nominations came in Bush's second term, after he defeated John Kerry by winning the popular vote by over three million votes. I guess that's a talking point that sort of misses the point?

Some of our liberal friends also would to forget that Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy chose to step down (by all accounts) based on who was in office at the time. Very seldom does a  President get an unexpected nomination, such as when Chief Justice William Rehnquist or Associate Justice Antonin Scalia passes away. However, in both those cases, those were conservative Justices who were replaced with another conversation Justice.
