Court candidate Granholm to be at White House
By BEN FELLER – 29 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, one of President Barack Obama's candidates for the Supreme Court, will be at the White House on Tuesday.

An administration official says the Democratic governor is coming to the White House for an event unrelated to the Supreme Court. It is not clear whether Granholm will be meeting with Obama about the upcoming vacancy on the court.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because details of Tuesday's event have not been announced.

Granholm is among more than six people Obama is considering for the seat on the court now held by Justice David Souter, who is retiring this summer.

The 50-year-old Granholm is a former federal prosecutor and Michigan attorney general.

1. While I'm sure I'll be more than pleased with whomever the President picks, this news makes me happy

Even before the election I was thinking she would be an awesome pick for the court.

Makes you wonder...if it isn't about the Court, from what they say, then why isn't it announced?

Wouldn't a visit from her in her capacity as governor be announced and with maybe a photo op?

Hmmmm...

We shall see!

2. Obama will tell her

"Jen, if Clarence Thomas walks by you with a soda can, run the other way."

3. Maybe he's using her as a practice nominee for Obama to ask questions...

like when she filled in for Sarah Palin so Biden could practice debating her. :D
