Luttig and Brown...

IMO Luttig & Roberts were peers at the top of the list of obviously well qualified & excellent choices from the DC Circut - Brown now fits that bill as well but needs time on the bench before she's ready (to fill a succeeding seat, hopefully, ie Ginsburg's). But between Luttig & Roberts I always thought there was one deal breaker on Luttig's behalf - his opinion ruling against the Bush administration in the WOT, a key area of law for the future justice.

Steven, I think you're points are valid. But, let's be honest, in Roberts, we have a right/center jurist. O'Connor was a right/center jurist, and drove us to distraction.

I guess my point is that despite the current view that the Court has moved a step to the right, that may or may not be so.
