“Do you know this to be true, or is it something someone reported as ‘possible’? Everyone has been assuming, or hoping it was Ted Olson, but I never heard the President say one way or the other.”

No, I don’t know it to be true, which is why I said “reportably” and “If that’s true.”

Just as obviously, the President couldn’t be expected to name someone he didn’t intend to nominate, so, as with all nominations, one has to rely on the White House rumor mill as repeated by the press.
