Best Answer

Clarence Thomas, a Republican nominated by George H. W. Bush in 1991, is considered the most conservative, with Antonin Scalia, a 1986 Reagan nominee, running a close second. Thomas has strong Libertarian leanings, supporting state's rights and taking an orthodox approach toward interpreting the Constitution. Scalia is considered an "originalist" in his thinking, meaning he considers the intention of those who framed and amended the Constitution in his interpretations.
