| Supreme Court Nomination on Friday? |
Talk Left cites CNN in saying that Bush might announce his O'Connor replacement on Friday. And the clue, apparently, as most of us suspected, is that he's going to pick a woman or a minority.
So I'm updating my Supreme Court Nomination odds. This will probably be my final version before the announcement. Let's see how I do. Last time Roberts was my 5th most likely, with odds of 8:1.
Consuelo Callahan - 4:1. Added her last time, clearly intriguing. Talk Left agrees. She's my new favorite. Too moderate for Bush?
Edith Clement - 5:1. Not a clean swap for O'Connor, but Conservatives would be happy.
Edith Jones - 8:1. She keeps hanging around. Definitely possible.
Priscilla Owen - 9:1. Dropping her down on likelihood of filibuster.
Emilio Miller Garza - 9:1. If it's a man, there's a good chance it's him. But it should be a woman.
Larry Thompson - 10:1. Moving up on CNN mention. He's smart, which is a plus after Roberts.
Edward Prado - 11:1
Harriet Miers - 11:1. A new entrant. Never a judge before though.
Janice Rogers Brown - 12:1. Filibuster likely.
Alice Batchelder - 13:1
Karen Williams - 14:1
Reena Raggi - 15:1
Alberto Gonzales - 15:1. I don't think Bush has the stomach for it.
Sonia Sotomayor - 17:1
Samuel Alito Jr. - 19:1
Michael McConnell - 20:1
J. Michael Luttig - 22:1
J. Harvie Wilkinson - 25:1
Ted Olson - 30:1
John Cornyn - 40:1
William Pryor - 50:1 |
