ConfirmThem

No announcement is expected today. Sources close to the White House tell RedState that the situation is in play. Judge Alito and Judge Batchelder's names are being mentioned. Corrigan's name continues to be mentioned, though not as much. Based on "chatter," I'd say that Judge Luttig's name has move ahead of Judge Williams's name. A White House source tells me that there is concern that Williams could be viewed just like Judge Clement -- coldly by the social right.

I'm told the White House has also come to the conclusion based on public and private polling that the majority of the public wants a "quality" nominee and does not demand a woman or minority as much as the media would have everyone believe.

An independent source tells RedState that we should should not expect a judge from the state level or a current non-judge. "The President is gonna pick a Circuit Court Judge," says the source.

All that and $3.00 just might buy you a bad cup of coffee at Starbucks.
