Well I guess you could argue Posner was a "classical liberal" in the sense of en.wikipedia.org . That would be a little obtuse in this context, but tame enough given the general level of debate on the topic here. Personally, I'd like to see someone like Earl Warren considered - not in the ideological sense, but in the sense of a non-judge willing to look at things from a fresh perspective. I've always found it bizarre how maligned the Warren court was for actually considering the plain meaning of the constitution in things like search and seizure and equal protection. Historically, my understanding is that the Supreme Court has always been pretty conservative, Dred Scott - type decisions being much more the norm than Brown v. Board of Education.
