Check this out... breaking news from Washington Post:

"Leahy asked her to name her favorite Supreme Court justices. Miers responded with "Warren" -- which led Leahy to ask her whether she meant former Chief Justice Earl Warren, a liberal icon, or former Chief Justice Warren Burger, a conservative who voted for Roe v. Wade . Miers said she meant Warren Burger, the sources said."

Well, that's just great. Not that I necessarily trust the WaPo to get it right or Leahy to tell the truth, but I don't see how anybody could call Warren frickin' Burger her favorite Justice. It'd be like calling Benjamin Harrison your favorite President. Can anybody name a famous opinion written by Burger?
