The first pick for that seat was John Roberts who is no chick.

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

Why? GWB could never be accused of failing to appoint women to positions of authority. Besides that his first choice was a woman, after all.

My gut feeling tells me that Bush absolutely will not pick a woman this time. Why not? Because Bush genuinely seems to like Miers, and to some extent it would humiliate Miers even more if he now picks another woman. Let's face it. More or less any gal from the "short list" (e.g., Janet Rogers Brown, Karen Williams, etc.) will blow Harriet away by comparison. It'd be a bit like withdrawing a prom invitation from a nice but frumpy girl in favor of a popular cheerleader. There'd be something slightly ungentlemanly about it.

In the 21st century, is it silly to think this way? Perhaps. My gut feeling tells me that this is the way it is, though. The nominee will be a guy.

That was Mrs. Bush's choice. Not the President gets a choice.

Harriet was the sacrifical lamb so that Bush could say, "I tried to nominate a woman but..."
