Yes that's my point and that opinion is based on what they believe
the constitution says and "not" what they think it should be.
The recent case with medical pot use is a good example. The three judges that ruled in favor of the case were conservatives because they believe the states have the say in the matter not the feds.
The COPA act that Clinton pushed is another good example. Clinton tried to outlaw porn and the SCOTUS said no you can't do that. It didn't mean the conservatives on the supreme court thought porn was OK. It was that they believe the constitution gave porn some right to be seen/viewed with some protections.
People forget that a Democrat tried to stop porn on the web and the conservatives struck it down !

I need to clarify something and that is I don't define a conservative by his political party. There are plenty of non-liberal democrats out there. Infact I think a case can be made that most democrats(especially in the south) are more on the religious "right" then so-called conservatives.
So I agree with you on those points.
But back to the original question: Is C.T. a conservative at heart or is a smooth panderer of conservative views for personal gain?
