She sees him as a Souter. No paper trail=no conservative. I suspect Miers could be the same.

I doubt she will be a Souter. The president has worked with her at least 10 years, so she is not an unknown to him. Souter WAS an unknown to the first Pres. Bush. Big difference.

Good point. I would have preferred Luttig, but I'm not going to get hysterical about it. I just don't know enough about Miers at this point. I was very, very impressed with Roberts' perfomance during the confirmation hearings, so President Bush's track record on this issue, while short, is good.
