Supreme Court Scorecard
just posted here. As rumors fly about other resignations, you might find my thinking about the following of interest:
1) The first person President Bush nominates to replace Justice O'Connor, if
that person is a conservative, will be rejected by the Senate.
(2) The pivotal role of Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter in
sinking the Bork nomination in 1987 and how he could sink a Bush nominee this year.
(3) How a Rehnquist resignation would clear the way for President Bush to nominate
his friend Alberto Gonzales to the Court.
(4) The likely timetable for the nomination and confirmation process.
You can also review the backgrounds of likely nominees as compiled by the New Republic and National Review. (You can't tell the players without a scorecard.)
RedState.org is saying today that two more resignations are coming.
