As we all know, the next President is very likely going to nominate at least two Justices to the Supreme Court. It is essential that these nominees are strict constructionists and don't legislate from the bench. It seems that Mitt Romney has a serious issue with nominating these types of people.
Governor Mitt Romney has passed over GOP lawyers for three-quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he has faced, instead tapping registered Democrats or independents -- including two gay lawyers who have supported expanded same-sex rights:
"Of the 36 people Romney named to be judges or clerk magistrates, 23 are either registered Democrats or unenrolled voters who have made multiple contributions to Democratic politicians or who voted in Democratic primaries, state and local records show. In all, he has nominated nine registered Republicans, 13 unenrolled voters, and 14 registered Democrats."

So Mitt says he'll appoint conservative judges? Certainly doesn't seem to have a record to back up that statement does he.
