In hindsight, maybe we would have been better off with Harriet Miers after all.

Miers morphed into Alito. That was a win.

Roberts was the guy from the git-go.

[Political Junkie Too]

Roberts wasn't initially nominated for Chief Justice. He was nominated to replace O'Connor. When Rehnquist died, Bush pulled Roberts' nomination and renominated him for the Chief Justice. Then Bush nominated Miers to replace O'Connor.

Maybe Bush should have kept Roberts as O'Connor's replacement, then Miers or someone else would be the Chief Justice now?
