"In an initial chat with Miers (Leahy), according to several people with knowledge of the exchange, 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."

Unless she had some sort of personal relationship with Burger that would make it natural for her to speak of him by his first name, I think her clarification is bulls**t.

And in any case, though Burger was no Warren, I can't imagine either being tops on a real conservative's list. This information is far more damaging to her case than what was posted in this thread's top article.

Who refers to Burger as "Warren?" I call Barbra Streisand.
