Really? They appointed one conservative Justice between them. Nixon pioneered wage & price controls, affirmative action, the EPA.

I am aware that they failed on judicial appointments, but their ideology was rather more conservative, yes.

They surrendered entirely to big-government liberalism on domestic policy, plus Nixon pushed detente with the Soviets.

Which social issues? Yes, Nixon was tough on crime, Ike on immigration. But social conservatism took a beating.
