For political leanings I'll use the terms "liberal" and "conservative," rather than specific political parties. The justice who was seen as a centrist was Anthony Kennedy, who retired in 2018. So now all nine justices on the Supreme Court tend to be on either a liberal or conservative side of the political spectrum.

LIBERAL JUSTICES

  • Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Associate Justice since 1993
  • Stephen Breyer, Associate Justice since 1994
  • Sonia Sotomayor, Associate Justice since 2009
  • Elena Kagan, Associate Justice since 2010

CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES

  • Clarence Thomas, Associate Justice since 1991
  • John Roberts, Chief Justice since 2005
  • Samuel Alito, Associate Justice since 2006
  • Neil Gorsuch, Associate Justice since 2017
  • Brett Kavanaugh, Associate Justice since 2018
