My GOD! The woman was Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy at the Bush White House!! Do you honestly believe that she was going to answer those questions with anything less than the "company line", regardless of what her personal views are?
Since you are dispensing predictions on the direction that the nominee would take on cases she hears, I would like to hear about your track record on other sitting Supreme Court Justices. How did you do when predicting the decisions supported by Reagan-nominee Justice Kennedy? Or how about Justice Souter, himself an appointee of the elder Bush president?
Both of these Justices were believed to be conservatives at the time of their nomination, but proved to be more liberal in actuality. But I guess you knew that at the times of their nominations and didn't worry about them at all.
