"On July 1, 2005, Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor announced her retirement from the Supreme Court effective upon the confirmation of a successor. President George W. Bush first nominated John Roberts to the vacancy; however, when Chief Justice William Rehnquist died on September 3, Bush withdrew Roberts' nomination to fill O'Connor's seat and instead nominated Roberts to the Chief Justiceship.

On October 3, President Bush nominated Harriet Miers to replace O'Connor. However, Miers withdrew her acceptance of the nomination on October 27 after encountering widespread opposition."

Why is she looking better and better to you? Miers was replaced by Alito. Alito did his job. He has been more conservative than Miers would have been.

Traitor Roberts had nothing to do with Miers.

Why? Alito voted to rule Obamacare unconstitutional.
