I would place Edith Jones far in ahead of Priscilla Owen. First, we know for a fact that Jones is a Scalia-type. She has had a long record of being a Scalia brand of judge. Owen, while most consider her conservative, is not as ardent a conservative, or so it would seem, as Jones. Jones would be to the right what Ginsburg is to the left. To borrow a phrase from my father, Edith Jones is a "mean ass conservative", and a mean ass conservative is exactly what this court needs.

Both are truly conservative in the mode of Scalia (instead Roberts is not a "Scalito"), but Jones is older than Owen. Which is a very important issue, too.

I would like Jones too.

Edith Jones is the best woman for nomination. Whether Bush has the gumption to pull the trigger is the question.
