Even Better than American Idol
The names of the six candidates in final consideration by President Obama to replace Justice Souter on the Supreme Court were obtained/leaked to the AP:
Among those Obama is considering are Solicitor General Elena Kagan, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and U.S. Appeals Court judges Sonia Sotomayor and Diane Pamela Wood. California Supreme Court Justice Carlos Moreno is also under review by Obama.
Sources familiar with Obama’s deliberations confirmed the names to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no candidates have been revealed by the White House. The confirmation amounts to the first time any name has been directly tied to Obama.
Just a hunch, but I think it’ll be Kagan. She seems to be oozing with empathy.
