SCOTUS: Time For A New Short List!
No Vacancy? No ProblemHa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.......President Bush isn't looking very far for his next conservative pick to the U.S. Supreme Court: His top two candidates work just 12 blocks away in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Insiders say Judge Janice Rogers Brown, appointed in June 2005, tops the list, followed by Judge Brett Kavanaugh, appointed in May. Also up: Peter Keisler, whose nomination to the D.C. court is pending. So there's no vacancy, you say? With apologies to Justice John Paul Stevens, 86, it's his seat they hope to fill.
What a difference a week makes!
On a more serious note, I would imagine that Allyson Duncan might be a name people in the Administration are beginning to talk about.
