The "conservative" National Review went back to every Supreme Court appointment in history and made charts showing exactly what happened to answer your question. The New York Times, with its "moral clarity" performed no such analysis and presented no such charts.

So no, I won't cite something else.

It's amazing how if someone shared NYTimes, WaPo, VOX, VICE etc, then everyone's cool. But if someone shares a slightly right leaning source, people start asking for "non-conservative" source.

Your bias is showing.

The National Review article links to the source data, data from CRS and data from senate.gov. CRS is the Congressional Research Service.
