AP has an article titled "Bush Advised to Wait on Top Court Nominee." The idea is that, if a vacancy occurs at the end of June, and Congress is in recess during August, then it might be best to wait until Congress returns before nominating a successor. That way, special interest groups wouldn't be able to beat up on a nominee throughout August.

On the other hand, special interest groups (and especially one group in particular) are already getting ready to attack a bunch of prospective nominees all at once. For example, try clicking on one of these links and see what happens. www.stopgarza.com. www.stopluttig.net. www.stopalito.net.

Meanwile, Nina Totenberg speculates about possible Supreme Court nominees (this is an audio segment). She mentions that Emilio Garza is "certainly qualified in legal terms."

And, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram also speculates about possible Supreme Court nominees who are from Texas.
