The problem with a right wing court is not that they don't impose liberal policies on us anymore; it's that they stop liberal actions by the congress and the states from taking effect or make them weaker. An example is the clean power plan, voting rights, and the citizens united ruling. The new conservative court will be the most authoritarian institution in the nation.
I think this chart probably reflects the tilt to the right even in the definitions of conservative and liberal today.
