Kurtz and Bazelon on SCOTUS Vacancies
By AndrewHyman Comments () / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
Howard Kurtz has lots of Supreme Court resignation scuttlebutt in the Washington Post. Also, Emily Bazelon and David Newman profile the candidates on their "short list," in Slate: Luttig, Roberts, Garza, Alito, Clement, Gonzales, Wilkinson, and McConnell. Hat tip to How Appealing for the Slate link. John Roberts may be surprised to learn that Slate has him pegged at 55 years of age.
Info about each of the SCOTUS candidates is linked at the right side of the confirmthem home page. As those links indicate, the Republican base is highly ambivalent (if not opposed to) nominations of Gonzales, Wilkinson, or McConnell. This is the first time that Clement has shown up on a short list, as far as I know; I've come across much more about the other Edith: Judge Edith Jones.
Anyway, this is all just premature speculation, as there are no vacancies.
