Answer
Presidents try to appoint justices who share their political ideology, in order to extend their influence over government beyond their term of office. Sometimes they misjudge how conservative or liberal a justice is, and find that he or she votes differently than the President expected or would prefer.
President Eisenhower is a classic example of someone who erred (in his opinion) in his choices, which had the effect of shifting the tenor of the court from conservative to liberal, something he had not intended.
Looking back on his Presidency, Eisenhower once said, "I made two mistakes, and both of them are sitting on the Supreme Court." The former President was referring to Earl Warren and William Brennan, Jr., both outspoken supporters of civil rights.
There is no evidence that Eisenhower disliked his appointment of Earl Warren or William Brennan Jr. because they were outspoken supporters of civil rights.
