Tom Geoghegan for SCOTUS!

[uberblonde]

Why not? He's a Harvard Law grad and Chicago labor lawyer, an original and brilliant thinker and a persuasive writer with a couple of high-profile books. He's been a strong advocate for the rights of working people and against the bankers.

More important, he would knock Scalia on his ass.

James Fallows, writing about him when he ran for Rahm Emanuel's seat:

"The remarkable thing is that in Geoghegan's case writing has been a sideline. Day by day for several decades he has been a lawyer in a small Chicago law firm representing steel workers, truckers, nurses, and other employees whose travails are the reality covered by abstractions like "the polarization of America" and "the disappearing middle class." Geoghegan's skills as a writer and an intellectual are assets but in themselves might not recommend him for a Congressional job. His consistent and canny record of organizing, representing, and defending people who are the natural Democratic (and American) base is the relevant point.

"The people of Chicago would have to look elsewhere for Blago-style ethics entertainment. Tom Geoghegan is honest and almost ascetic. Because it's an important part of his makeup, I mention too that he is a serious, Jesuit-trained Catholic."
