Bush's Supreme Court Pick

Harriet Miers seems to be a bigger hit with liberals everyone expected to oppose her than with the conservatives who are dissappointed with her. My own theory about such things is in these appointments and in elections we almost always get what we didn't think we would get. I could give a lot of examples going all the way back to LBJ who promised to get us out of Viet Nam. Bush has turned out to be more compassionate than conservative and it could be Roberts will be the disappointment and Meirs will be the next Scalia. In any event, it seems way too soon to get all excited. Eisenhower was surprised by Earl Warren, Bush the elder was surprised by Souter and thus it will always be, I suspect.
