I'm currently reading the book Five Chiefs by Justice John Paul Stevens. John Paul (who would later go on to form the Beatles and then become Pope) recollects the 5 Chief Justices under whom he clerked, practiced law, and ultimately with whom he served.

When I was reading about Earl Warren, I stopped and reflected upon two incidents:

1. Earl Warren was elected Governor of California in 1942 as a Republican. In 1946 he ran unopposed. Not only did both the Democratic and Progressive parties NOT field a candidate, they named Republican Warren as their candidate.

2. Eisenhower elevated Warren to Chief Justice as a recess appointment.

A candidate for Governor or California running unopposed? The Chief Justice appointed during a Congressional recess? A real-life liberal Republican? Which will happen next?

A real-life liberal Republican?

Wouldn't be a Republican then unless by "liberal" you mean classical liberal. The great separation Jesus spoke of has already happened (Matthew 10:34). Most of the righteous have migrated to the Republican party and most of the self-righteous have moved to the Democrat party. It ain't going back anytime soon.
