Rumor is The President will make a nonimation today. We'll see waht happens... :munchin
Other names thought to be under consideration were: Maura Corrigan, a judge on the Michigan Supreme Court; Cecilia M. Altonaga, a U.S. District Court judge for the Southern District of Florida; Mary Ann Glendon, a Harvard Law School professor; Karen Williams from the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va.; Janice Rogers Brown, recently confirmed by the Senate for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit; and Priscilla Owen, who was just confirmed for a seat on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
What kind of squealing would be heard if all of the possible considerations had names like Bob, Ray, Tom, Steve, Rich, and Walter? :rolleyes:
skimmed an article that said he was going out of his way to nominate a woman. . . FWIW

It's ironic that the Rebulician President puts more minorities into postions of power that other one.
