I think you make a good point. A speedy confirmation is important this time.

I also think it is important to view both Supreme nomination in the context of the GWOT. Someone in an earlier post on the FR made the point that she has been in the trenches with the President dealing with the war. There are going to be more challenges coming up to the Court in the future on the GWOT issues. I think part of the "I know her" means that she will bring to the Court the perspective of the front line battle and that she will be with him and future Presidents fighting the GWOT. Keep in mind that the last case that Roberts did was a GWOT case with a favorable outcome from the administration.
