ConfirmThem

A quick aside from the prep for the Roberts confirmation hearing: Patterico and JP both have lengthy posts making the case for Miguel Estrada to be appointed into the currently vacant Associate Justice seat. They both make great points.

I just want to add that for my own part, Estrada would be an outstanding selection. His resume makes him one of the very few candidates on the short list whose qualifications are on par with Judge Roberts. He is unquestionably cut from the mold of Scalia and Thomas. And after the way he was treated by the Senate in the past, it would be a joy to go to battle for him. If Estrada is willing, he's be an excellent pick.
