Unless we're once again seeing a ROPE-THE-DOPE move.
Judge Janice Rogers Brown has been on my list long before Roberts. However, the gang of 14 which includes several R.I.N.O.'s (mcCAIN for one) have told the WH don't nominate HER or we'll allow a filibuster...
IMHO, W should still take the chance with her 'cause Senator Hatch has said BRING IT ON...we'll stop this nonsense.

Alito It Is (Or So It Seems)
Multiple sources are telling RedState that Samuel A. Alito, Jr. of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals will be named by the President at the next associate justice of the United States Supreme Court as early as Monday.
“The situation is still in flux,” says one source, “but not very much.” Says another, “The White House Counsel’s Office is not doing too good at keeping this a secret.”
Still another source says, “Luttig and Alito were the fall backs to Miers. They have both been vetted. Alito seems more palatable. There is no need to drag this out, he’s been vetted a million times.”
And yet another source tells me that he is convinced Alito is the nominee barring some last minute unforeseen issue. All signs are pointing to Judge Alito right now. Things could change, but as the weekend draws closer it seems more and more likely that Judge Alito will be the nominee and conservatives will have a fight on their hands in the Senate — a very winnable fight.
