Why Does Everyone Blame Barrett?

Why does everyone act like Barrett is always voting with the liberal opposition?
Here's the real breakdown for percentage of times that each Republican appointed justice has sided with the Democratic appointed opposition to push a decision over the finish line:
Kavanaugh—52% of the time. Yep. Over half of such cases. He's the justice most likely to side with the opposition.
Gorsuch—43% of the time.
Roberts—40% of the time.
Barrett—22% of the time. Roughly half as often as her male counterparts listed above.
Thomas and Alito—Less than 5% of the time.
Barrett is 4th on a list of 6 if we're identifying a problem with the court.
Another question. Why is it that both "neocon" Bushes could manage to appoint justices who voted conservative very consistently, but Trump can't?
I know my answer, but let's see what some others of you think.

Because he listened to McConnell and the rino society who’s been pushing candidates forever.

Barrett is MOSTLY catching strays I think
Adopted kids, female, etc.
It's basically a mostly misdirected outlet for the very correct theme that we're cratering our country because we don't want to tell women no, as the meme goes.

What are the real numbers when you don't manipulate them to fit your point of view?
Why should we give someone a pass for voting with the left just because they lost?

It's not the percentages of Barrett voting with the liberal justices it's the cases she is siding with the liberal justices on. Some of these cases are decisions that will help to preserve the constitutional republic and outside of the Dobbs decision she hasn't been a reliable conservative justice.

My answer requires looking up the makeup of the senate in each instance.
The GOP justices were all bitterly opposed and probably got 10 dem votes all put together.
How come the justices that never vary in their support of the left all get confirmed with 80 votes while all of the GOP ones get less than 60?
Who were the superior choices available to Trump and how would they have gotten confirmed?

What are y’all gonna name the Haitian kid you’re forced to adopt because of this law she passed

Didn’t GW Bush appoint Roberts? Maybe I’m wrong but I thought he was a Bush appointee.

Because Trump sucks at choosing people. He's terrible at it. Look at the senator he chose for LA.
A majority of the same people unhappy with her being picked for The Court probably voted blindly for Letlow, his endorsed candidate for senate.

This right here. The cases that draw a lot of major attention leading up to / and after are where she’s getting her “reputation”.

Thanks OP -- appreciate this post.
The decision yesterday was a disappointment, even more so because it was a one vote loss... [with three sheep voting for their party 99% of the time].
I'm glad to see the breakdown, because even here, I've seen a good deal of 'questionable accuracy' lately.

Don’t rewrite history because you have a hard-on for Trump.
HW appointed Souter
W appointed Miers (unsuccessfully) and Roberts.

Conversely, when do the 3 liberals side with the conservative side? Rarely.
