He just hasn't had the opportunity yet... only one vacancy has occurred
so far.  Four Justices, though, are even older than RR himself, and are
likely to resign in the next four years.

As Governor of California, RR wholeheartedly endorsed a bill (proposed in
the state legislature) that would have defined criticism of US policy in
Vietnam as treason.  That should give you some idea of Reagan's attitude
toward the Bill of Rights, as well as an indication of what his Supreme
Court nominees would be like (once he didn't have to worry about re-election).
