Please check your math... there's NINE (9) Justices on the US Supreme Court. For verification, please see

Also, just because a REPUBLICAN appoints a Justice does not NECESSARILY MEAN that the Justice will be a CONSERVATIVE.
Examples:
Eisenhower --> Justices Warren & Brennan (2 uberliberals)
Nixon --> Justice Stevens (started out right then went center then left)
Bush Sr --> Justice Souter (moderate then went left)
Nixon appointed Rehnquist as a law and order conservative and he turned out rightwing... but for every Rhenquist, you'll see the pattern described above.
