Luttig would have been good, I agree. I am sure the President considered nominating him and the others on your short list, but for his own reasons, which we will probably never know, decided that Miers was the best way to go. He may be wrong, but he is operating with more complete information than we have.

Do you seriously believe that? The only reason he didn't nominate them was he didn't have the guts to go to the mat for them.
