Among legal circles, who was the one person Scalia despised the most?

[silvershadow]

That's whom I would nominate as his replacement.

[Kalidurga]

1. Probably this guy I just heard about named Sri something.

3. I've heard that name mentioned several times tonight.

His name is Sri Srinivasan. Look him up on the DC Circuit judges web site. He has quite an impressive resume. It also makes sense to me that Obama would lean toward a minority appointee.

4. I read a bit about him.

Not that it matters, but I think he is perfect for the job. He is also young enough to make a difference for decades.

2. I don't know who Scalia despised but,

Anita Hill would certainly give Thomas a case of discomfort.

[Jim Lane]

5. Maybe Glenn Greenwald, as a two-fer.

Piss off Scalia's ghost and a whole lot of living people, too.

Somehow, though, I suspect that he won't make Obama's short list.

6. Everyone but himself
