RedState is displeased:

Me, the sources, everyone it seems was wrong. We’ve all heard the rumors, but not a one could believe the President would do that. Where is our Scalia/Thomas.

I think I’ll let the President fight this battle himself, for now.

It appears, for what it is worth, that George W. Bush was the ultimate stealth nominee. He has acted like a true-blue conservative, talking the talk and walking the tax cut walk. But, he has expanded government, spent the future, and now nominated she who has the potential to be a female Souter.

Let’s hope I’m wrong, but right now I’m not impressed.

I’m liking her more by the minute.
