The game now is all about insider information. Find someone who is a closeted conservative (or liberal) whose record reflects mainstream views. Meanwhile, get confident that your line to the clerks and so forth reveals a better view of the person (obviously the intelligence sources screwed up on Souter). Her saying Roe is the law of the land is pretty unremarkable, which is why Edith Jones's dissent was so remarkable. No circuit court judge should think otherwise--they're not in a position to overrule it, so why bother saying otherwise?

Burger, your rationale dooms us to repeat Souter. Remember when Sununu said he was a conversative?!?!?
