Luttig might be the one person mentioned by the right that could be confirmed.

JRB, Owen, McConnell, Edith Jones -- no way. Clement could get there too, but no one on the right has been pushing her.
BTW, I give him some credit for sticking with his people. Clinton sold out his buddies all too quickly.

I think Jones and McConnell could get confirmed. It's a travesty if they couldn't. Just as bad as if a non-qualified nominee like Miers slips in.
I bet Ty would vote yes for McConnell, and if so, that says something. Clement otoh has a bad taste about her, intangible, but there is something off putting........
