Who would you nominate and why?

Maybe you want the best justice possible or maybe you just want GOP heads to explode.

Who would you nominate to replace Scalia?
What is their legal bacground (if you know)?
Why did you pick this person?
What do you feel are the odds of Senate confirmation?

IF YOUR PICK IS BARACK OR BIDEN: Who do you pick for the new Veep?

My shoot from the hip pick is Loretta Lynch because she's recently gone through a confirmation process and she has the legal chops as AGUS.

Eta - 50/50 on confirmation

Although I was told Obama couldn't do that, but no reason was provided as to why not.

I think she never imagined getting so much crap over the goal of keeping kids healthy.
