Hmmm...I thought I detected a little bit of snottiness in your question, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt. If I made any mistake, it's that. Your question, by your own admission, was disingenuous.
I was precise and accurate in my statement...your question did not address what I said. Credit for Roberts has to be balanced with the choice of Harriet Miers as his other nominee. It was pressure from the base and Senators...his "friends" that brought Sam Alito.
Harriet Miers' main qualification for the SC was a close personal friendship with W.
Now, what else would you like to address?
Actually, so was Sam Alito. The reason that Miers failed was that she didn't do well in her interviews. And Alito was one of his top choices, at the ready when Miers failed (who was also chosen because she had the judicial philosophy that he wanted in a SC justice).
The credit for Alito goes to entirely Bush. Both Roberts and Alito had the originalist Constitutional philosophy that President Bush understood was critical to the future of this country and reflected his own conservative judicial philosophy. And because of his choices, this dear Republic of ours is hanging on by a thread. Bush's thread. You can't take credit for either man.
Any thing else you'd like to have cleared up? I'm here for you. :)
