He is affiliated typically with Democratic candidates. He is friends with Senator John Kerry of Massachusettes. He even commented in 2004 during the presidential election that if John Kerry won the election for President, Aerosmith would perform at his inaugural. This is in contrast to Joe Perry, who is a "life-long Republican", and endorsed John McCain in the 2008 Presidential election.
Chief Justice John Paul Stevens, who served on the U.S. Supreme Court from 1975 to 2010, was nominated by President Gerald Ford, a Republican. However, Stevens was often considered to be more liberal in his judicial philosophy and decisions. He did not formally affiliate with a political party during his tenure on the Court, but his rulings frequently aligned with more liberal perspectives.
Retiring Justice Stevens was 2 things: a consistent liberal who's vote usually went to the left and a smart, very smart justice who knew how to persuade some of his fellow justices to vote as Stevens would vote. With Stevens retiring, it's likely that another liberal or at least left of center justice will fill his seat. But the new person won't have the experience or knowledge in knowing how to work the other justices to join in a liberal opinion. So it's more than likely we'll see fewer liberal victories and more conservative victories, at least for a period of time.

President Gerald Ford, a Republican, nominated Justice Stevens to the US Supreme Court in 1975. At the time of his appointment, Justice Stevens was considered moderately conservative; however, his views have become more progressive during his tenure on the Court.

Five of the nine justices are typically considered conservative (Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas, Alito and Kennedy), while four are considered reliably liberal (Justices Stevens, Ginsburg, Breyer and Sotomayor). Justice Kennedy, although classified as a conservative, has voted with the liberal faction on some cases, making him the unpredictable swing vote that helps balance the Court.

The answer to that question is unknown. Stevens may be among the last of the moderate Republicans, or he may have changed party affiliation when the Republican party became much more conservative.President Gerald Ford, a Republican, nominated Justice Stevens to the US Supreme Court in 1975. At the time of his appointment, Justice Stevens was considered moderately conservative; however, his views gradually became more progressive during his tenure on the Court. He did, however, vote with the conservative bloc on some surprising issues, even in his final year on the bench.Justices Stevens' voting record became more closely aligned with the Democratic platform over the years, and he chose to retire during President Obama's administration, perhaps indicating he preferred a liberal/Democrat successor (although, at 90, he may simply have wished to retire).There is also significant evidence (including statements by Justice Stevens himself), that it was not so much that his positions changed, it was that the court itself have moved significantly over his (very long) term on the bench. That is, it is less that Justice Stevens became more "liberal", and more that the definitions of what is considered "conservative" have changed over the last 35 years.
