Showing Original Post only (View all)Scalia's Replacement Likely to be Lynch [View all]
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/02/15/scalias-replacement-likely-to-be-loretta-lynch-analyst.htmlIn other words - shit just got real!
A leading Supreme Court analyst thinks Attorney General Loretta Lynch is the "most likely candidate" to replace the late conservative Justice Antonin Scalia.
Tom Goldstein, who runs the influential SCOTUSblog, had earlier predicted Ninth Circuit Judge Paul Watford would make the top of President Obama's shortlist. But in a revised blog post, Goldstein said he now believes Lynch is the leading contender.
Lynch is a "very serious possibility," Goldstein wrote. "The fact that Lynch was vetted so recently for attorney general also makes it practical for the president to nominate her in relatively short order."
