Harriet would’ve been a cross between Sandra Day O’Conner and David Souter, IMO. Was Vice President Cheney sick or out of the country that week?!
With Harriet Miers? He was overruled by the President. After her withdrawl, he went back to the list of 5 names that Cheney, Gonzalez, and Card set up (that list included Alito, Roberts, Michael Luttig, Edith Clement, and Harvie Wilkinson).
The remaining 3 are dead nominees, though, so any lucky 3rd vacancy this summer will need something new.
