I would like to see Cornyn appointed. If Stevens does retire(and I pray he does) Bush may be forced to appoint a sitting Senator in order to avoid a filibuster. I don't see some of the more moderate Democrats filibustering one of their colleagues.

Why does it have to be a senator? Neither Roberts not Alito were senators.

In fact who was the last senator to be appointed to the SCOTUS?

If that's what it takes to get someone on the court then I say let them filibuster and be damned. Eight justices can still hear cases.
