Clement's record as a consitutionalist, is almost non-existent. as I recall, her background is in maritime law issues? I recall that Mark Levin was not high on Clement when she was the rumored pick.

But Edith Jones is a winner (I'm simply convinced she would be awesome.)

Judge Jones is awesome. And so is Judge Clement. The Fifth Circuit has a lot of awesome judges.

Yes, Edith Jones would be a good choice. If I'm not mistaken it came down to between her and Souter when 41 made his first SC appointment. Think of how different the court would have been if that lying-liberal-pretending-to-be-conservative had been rejected instead.
