Among the people President Barack Obama is likely to consider to replace Justice David Souter:

— U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan, a former Harvard University law professor.

— Judge Ruben Castillo of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

— Pam Karlan, a law professor at Stanford University.

— Judge Margaret McKeown of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.

You mean, Mass. governor.

I like the kook from the 9th Circus. The 9th Circus is always good for a laugh or two. Especially when they are dealing with legal decisions. The SCOTUS could use a little humor right now.

Headline reads: “A look at potential Obama nominees to high court (Includes NY Governor Deval Patrick!)”

I thought Deval Patrick was Mass. and that Paterson was NY.

[Paleo Conservative]

Surely you can’t be serious. Deval Patrick is the governor of MA not NY. I don’t think David Paterson is even a lawyer.

[Bean Counter]

So this list is cast in stone, just because the AP says so??

Extremely premature, and nothing more than news fodder at this point. In fairness, I doubt that the Administration even has a long list at this point....

In any case, I thin Obama’s biggest problem will be his own Democrats in the Senate....not the Republicans....

Is there a difference?:)

[SeanOGuano]

He’ll nominate a woman. He has to.

[taxesareforever]

How about Al Franken?

[Seaplaner]

Actually, the article misses a few nominees rumored to be on Obama's short list...

- - Mickey Pfleger,

- - Cindy Sheehan,

- - Ward Churchill,

- - Daniel Ortega,

- - Cher

and his very favorite...

- - Bill Ayers

Oh, please, please, take Deval Patrick out of MA!

[Ezekiel]

He’ll nominate a woman. He has to.

Or else!

[armymarinemom]

Oh, please, please, take Deval Patrick out of MA!

Being from ME, I understand your misery but do you think the country really needs him?

Larry Sabato, Professor of Law, U of Virginia Law School.

[trumandogz]

Sotomayor will be the next Justice on the SCOTUS.

[Paladin2]

There is always H!

What better way to put her out of the TOTUS action?

[anniegetyourgun]

It doesn’t work that way - he’ll only put a name before a Dem run committee that has the votes going into hearings. It’s a lay down deal - he’ll get exactly what he wants.

[Tzimisce]

No matter what, I’m sure it will be some far left wing goon that the media tells us is a moderate...

[Finalapproach29er]

Guaranteed: A radical-lunatic. America is crumbling.........

[Stormdog]

“Oh, please, please, take Deval Patrick out of MA!”

Send him back to Chicago tarred,feathered and on a rail.
