Then the question becomes: with Bush Jr. in a snit over his screwup, will he just go with his other crony Gonzales (that's Spanish for "Souter") and hang tough on an even worse pick, while Luttig, Rogers Brown and Owen continue to gather dust?

If Miers gets voted down in committee, it's likely Bush will put forward Edith Clements, who was a leading candidate originally until he decided on Roberts.

Clements is truly a moderate.
