I think that restriction lead to Harriet Meirs. None of the female originalists wanted the MSM rectal exam.

As a half-Italian attorney who practices in NJ, my pick is Alito :)

Thought the pick had to be a chick... It was. We have moved on.

Miers was not an "abomination", even if picking Miers arguably was. She is a fine lady and doesn't deserve the ad hominem slimes and slanders that some unprincipled critics indulged in.

Both of those would be fine as well.

Lets not forget that the administration has floated names as a red herring just to get the Left off balance, like the case with Judge Edith Brown Clement being reported as a done deal just before Roberts was announced.

'' Thought the pick had to be a chick''.... Nope that was just Bush trying to play nice with the RATS.......hopefully I think he's gotten over it......
To: dakine
Nope ...Laura doesen't get to choose this time.
To: Halfmanhalfamazing
My pick is Luttig.How do you think he'd compare to Alito? One big thing I'm curious about are things like WOT-related matters - presidential powers and surveillance powers and things like that. Does anybody know of any indications one way or the other?

I kept hearing about Clement right before he announced Roberts. There was so much talk about her in New Orleans that I was shocked he announced Roberts.
How about Ted Olson?

Butter the popcorn, there is going to be a brawl and we have ringside seats! Watching them go nuts will be as enjoyable as the moral victory.
To: Halfmanhalfamazing
Whoever he picks, I think he ought to walk in with Barney first...just to see how many people he frightens to death before he waves the nominee in.
(One of the Old Guard caisson horses in Roman tack might be fun too, but bringing one of those into the West Wing corridors might be a tight fit.)

Rereading the Rosen
piece, Luttig would be the better pick. Alito ruled that the feds could not regulate the posssession of machine guns, allegedly. That will be all over the Dem ads against him, and fair and damaging comment.

I hope he consulted with Kristol, Will, and Limbaugh before he made his list.
On second thought, he needed only to consult with Ann Coulter.
