Perhaps the strategy is to save Luttig for when Rehnquist leaves and Scalia gets promoted to CJ - thus replacing Scalia with a protege.
I was wrong, but not unhappy at the choice.
PS - Estrada was a joke.

I say here first that Roberts will ultimately be the next Chief Justice. Either Rehnquist will die or resign sufficiently soon that this nomination, which will go along easily, will get converted (either in reality or effect) to one for the Chief's seat. Then Luttig, or Jones sweeps into the empty associate chair.
