Actually that seems to not be the case, at least according to this article I got the info from.

The appointments that were a "disappointment" to conservatives were confirmed by democratic controlled congresses, and in many cases weren't the first nominee for that opening. (Compromise picks after the first nominee withdrew or was voted down)
Those who were really paying attention knew that Kennedy, Souter, and Stevens were moderates, or at the very least "not conservative".
