How did the New Right feel about Reagan's choices for the Supreme Court?

Although the appointees by Reagan (Sandra O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, and Anthony Kennedy) were no more liberal than their predecessors, the New Right was expecting a greater shift toward conservatism, both to prevent a swing to the left and possibly to repeal Roe v. Wade, which guaranteed abortions and was opposed by the Right to Life movement. However, after O'Connor and Scalia, Reagan was strongly opposed by the Democratic Senate with his nominations of Robert Bork and Douglas Ginsburg, and settled on the less-conservative Anthony Kennedy. This disappointed many Republicans in the New Right.
