Souter's replacement won't be anyone you've ever heard of before.
Bookmark this prediction if you wish.

It will be a highly, highly qualified nominee, however.

I have a feeling that given the age and health of some of the current SCOTUS members, Obama has already had a committee in place working on a list of possibilities.

2. I don't doubt he has a short list.
I just hope they are liberal and young!

6. You are probably correct and constitutional lawyer Obama will make a very qualified selection
and some on DU will applaud it while others will probably say the nominee isn't "liberal enough."

7. I would like to see Judge Reggie B. Walton
He's the guy that threw the book at Scooter Libby before Bush pardoned him.

That's poetic...

8. I'll bet a Constitutional Law Professor Obama's studied under...
... or worked with. Somebody he knows and respects very well.
