I'm pretty sure now is when you'll see Gonzalez get tapped.

Heaven help us all. What a [censored] horrible week. At least Pat Robertson's death prayers were answered.

I think Luttig is the recognized most brilliant brain of all the conservative not-too-old Circuit Court judges.

If Bush is interested in picking quality over ethnicity/gender or whatever, Luttig is the choice.

She will remain on the court until her replacement is sworn in, but I agree, she is too smart to get conned into staying.

My wife thinks Scalia, but she's the politico in the family. I don't even know how the process works.

Most CJs have not been picked from the associate justices. Thomas is the only one young enough, but I'm sure he doesn't want another confirmation hearing.

I say there is about a 2% chance that Bush nominates someone already on the court.

He can pick anyone. Technically, they don't even have to be a lawyer.

I hear Michael Brown might be looking for a job soon and he's already an attorney.

Brown probably won't hear about the job openning until 2006 though [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
