I think I would have picked a man. How would you rack and stack the candidates as per your qualifications?
When it comes to confirmabiliy, most of the men would get two points deducted just for being men. For example, a female version of Luttig might be an 8 on confirmability but he was probably only a 6 since he is a male.
Luttig is a 9 on qualifications.
Alito, 6 on confirmability, 9 on qualifications.
Don't know enough about the others to quantify.
I heard Hugh Hewitt call Harriet Miers the most qualifed, confirmable woman. I suppose he has some kind of informal equation that would factor in qualifications and confirmability. He must believe many women were not confirmable because he cannot really believe that she is more qualified that Williams, Owens, JRB, or Corrigan.
