Bush** picks the Court's 107th white guy (Roberts)

[KamaAina]

Is this a sign that maybe the Rehnquist seat will open up after all (and they already know it), allowing Bush** to throw a bone such as Clement to us non-knuckle-draggers?

First, Bush watchers have been predicting for quite some time – days even – that he wouldn't nominate the Court's 107th white guy. Based on Karl Rove's assiduous political strategy of courting the Latino vote, some of us thought Bush wouldn't be able to resist picking the first Latino. The credit for a Clement nomination would go instead to First Lady Laura Bush, who went on morning television from South Africa to urge her husband to replace O'Connor with another woman. That can mean only one thing: Rove is on his way out, and has already been replaced as chief political strategist by Laura Bush.

If only. Pickles is actually starting to look pretty good...
