I agree with you dlet, I'm not sure I trust this guy. People point to his ruling on the Padilla case, but that seems a mixed bag to me. He ruled that Padilla could have a lawyer, but did not succeed in restoring Padilla's Constitutional Habeas rightsm nor prevent his torture in detention I think they need to make sure that whoever is appointed rejects the concept of executive-infallibility and will honor subpoenas from Congress.
