Geez - wha' happened - did Souter fool everyone, or was the homework not done? Or did the Left threaten to out him and he capitulated to their whims for life?
How about Alex Kozinski of the 9th circuit apptd by Reagan?

Souter was recommended by John Sununu (Sr.), and conservatives accepted the choice without doing their homework. One who correctly gauged Souter (and O'Connor too for that matter) was Howard Phillips.
Not that he'd stand a chance, but Judge Roy Moore sounds good to me.
