"You know she was sitting in the WH when the bigs decided to go with Souter..."
Please explain your statement. Sounds like an interesting story there ...
My understanding from insiders is that the finalists were all brought to the White House. Judge Jones was one of them. I guess they had set a deadline, but didn't know who it was going to be. Also...who knows, maybe they wanted to have more than oneperson go in so as not to give anything away (not that anyone would have recognized Souter).
So you have this scenario where at least two C of A judges are sitting in the White House to see if they are to be the chosen one. One goes to the Rose Garden. The other goes to the Metro Stop and goes on with life. Apparently the latter was Judge Jones.
Makes me want to cry.
