New World Man has designed this very cool quiz. Take it yourself; it's lots of fun!
The first time that Article III Groupie took the quiz, she was told her favorite Supreme Court nominee is Judge Edith "Happy Happy Joy Joy" Clement (5th Cir.). Dissatisfied with that response, A3G took it a second time, and drew Judge Priscilla Owen (5th Cir.), a.k.a. the Lone Star Diva. That's a bit closer to the mark, but A3G wants to know: What choices must one select in order to end up with Judge Janice Rogers Brown (D.C. Cir.), UTR's top-ranked judicial diva?
The next logical question that arises out of the quiz is: "How did President Bush's actual choice, White House Counsel Harriet Miers, fare as a nominee? How many takers of the quiz ended up with her as their favorite choice?" The answer is available here.
Wow! I got Starr Jones -- and she isn't even on the list! Heck, if you can't have Edith, why not shoot for a little "Starr-power." G-money

Instalanche, schminstalanche. This is my blogging apogee!
Anyway, yes, Very Important to the "rally the base" question, confirmability "unimportant" and favorite Justice Thomas will get you JRB most of the time. (Dealbreaker Important re: rallying and Nuke em re: confirmability will most often get you Owen)

Watch out, Harriet Miers is the insurgent favorite, up to 15 results!!!
I got Karen Williams, which apparently puts me in the company of almost 20% of test-takers.

Just noticed this in the Detroit Free Press link at left:
HOT: The Internet blog site UnderneathTheirRobes -- www.underneaththeirrobes.blogs.com -- says Roberts has been voted No. 5 on the "Hotties of the Bench" list it puts out. The site is run by a federal court employee in Washington.
