Lots Of "Chatter" That Janice Rogers Brown Will Get The SCOTUS Nom.

Actually, all things being equal, McConnell would prolly be the best choice. He's prolly the smartest of the bunch, and he's no crusader. Kind of an unsexier, less politically connected Roberts. But he ain't gotta hope in hell, that's my belief.

It will almost certainly be a Hispanic or a woman, and if Stevens grabs his left tit it'll then be whatever didn't get picked this time.

Shame, but there's ton's of luck & timing involved in SCOTUS noms.

I think Jones may be the one. She is the right gender, but solid (unlike Clement).

How would you like to see JRB get this one, then have Jones & McConnell replace Stevens & Souter? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Actually, it may well be Jones. I don't think Gonzo really wants the job else Bush woulda nom'd him first off. I don't think he wants to live in DC the next 20 years.

Jones is much more openly anti-Roe than JRB, tho, which could be a factor. The Evangelicals don't want Gonzo & Clement. McConnell, if he were replacing Stevens, would prolly sail thru.

But as I've posted before I'm dying to hear Biden & Kennedy tell JRB that she "doesn't understand the challenges & obstacles faced by women & minorities". [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

JRB's a noted flamethrower so you know it'd be all guns blazing. I love SCOTUS noms, just love 'em.
