Assuming that Pres Obama gets to fill another SCOTUS seat, who is nect on the list?

[rd_kent]

Any ideas? Names? Why?

[T Wolf]

1. Please let her/him be as liberal as the pukes accused Obama of being. If only....

[tk2kewl]

2. Al Gore

:evilgrin:

[gateley]

3. Jonathan Turley would be my first choice. nt

[Myrina]

4. Russ Feingold

... although I don't know if he keeps his J.D. credentials renewed ...


and I hear Eliot Spitzer's got some free time on his calendar ... ;-)

6. Wouldn't constitutionally need J.D. credentials, nor to be a lawyer at all.

Of course, confirmation is an ordeal nowadays, even for lawyers and judges with long track records.

How about Bill Clinton? Then the North Koreans would likely do anything he asked. ;-)

5. Me! Me! Me!

:hi:
'Cause I look good in black.

[Hekate]

7. Another highly-qualified minority woman. Women have waited a LONG time for this...

... and Justice Ginsberg is too frail for comfort. She could surprise us, though, and hold on past the next resignation of a man (please, please, please let Scalia hear God's call to spend more time with his family).

Anyhow, there are a lot of highly-qualified women in the pipeline now.
