SCOTUS Scuttlebutt

SCOTUS Scuttlebutt

I won’t pretend that I know who the President’s nominee will be to the Supreme Court. But I have been following the educated guesses of the pundits in the press. The scuttlebutt is that Bush will nominate a woman who is an originalist. Among those who might fit that description and who are likely candidates:

Edith Jones
Edith Brown Clement
Priscilla Owen
Janice Rogers Brown
Karen Williams
Alice Batchelder
Mary Anne Glendon
Lillian R. BeVier
John S. Shannon
Maura D. Corrigan

(Sources: Bill Kristol’s article and MSNBC’s list of prospective nominees.)

The Washington Post and MSNBC have pages that give information on many of these prospects. Some of the ones they list are not females.

Justin Taylor has links to profiles of some of the ones on this list.

• Edith Jones
• Edith Clement
• Priscilla Owen
