Well one of the things that has been said about her is that she is an experienced bureaucrat, that would explain her emphasis on administration. But that's not the role of a Supreme Court justice. She might be an able official in the Justice Department, however.

And a bureaucrat is not exactly the perspective I would want on the Supreme Court. I really think Harriet Miers is probably a great lady. She sounds like she is pro-life and pro-guns. But I also think that she is willing to compromise on her values because of her bureaucatic background. I am up in the air on her. Bush has misplayed his hand, and it is kind of too late to deal a new one.

The story from NRO suggests that she was going to give a list of justices, citing different reasons for each. For all we know, she was going to say Rehnquist for leadership, and Scalia for his brilliance.

But if the NRO story is correct, she didn't get a chance to complete her thought, because Leahy interrupted to show how smart he was knowing that there were two Warrens.

And since the story about the conversation came out of his office (or from reporters in his office) it could be they selectively leak the parts that would cause some here to go into a frenzy.
