If President Bush had gotten his way, his appointments would have been CJ Roberts and Harriett Meyers.
[eyeroll] I couldn't remember if Meyers was a washout for the Roberts seat or Alito's. OTOH, she may not be a legal giant, but give her her due; I bet if she were CJ, she'd have had the common sense to send this one down in flames, unlike Injustice Roberts. Hell, I would have and I'm not even a liar, er, lawyer.
