I don't know which is

I don't know which is more shocking: her resignation or Kristol's accurate prediction.

This is to inform you of my decision to retire from my position as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, effective upon the nomination and confirmation of my successor. It has been a great privilege indeed to have served as a member of the court for 24 terms. I will leave it with enormous respect for the integrity of the court and its role under our constitutional structure.

So now who will be nominated to take her place? Since I'm sure this will become everyone's new favorite past time (well those who care); let's play "name that judge!"

Will it be Alberto Gonzales like Bill Kristol suggested?

Or Mel Martinez or Mike DeWine or Mike Crapo, named by Senator Harry Reid as a possible replacement? (Ok, I really like Mel Martinez, but is it wrong of me to become terribly suspicious when Harry Reid refers to this group as " people who serve in the Senate now who are Republicans who I think would be outstanding Supreme Court members"?)


Updated: What other bloggers are saying:

Rightpundit says it will be either Emilio Garza or Edith Brown Clement. Also see his great analysis here and here and here.

Malkin as always has an excellent round-up.

MVRWC quotes Reagan. And some of her commenters are suggesting a conspiracy...

Polipundit picks Judge Janice Rogers Brown, or Judge Priscilla Owen to replace O'Connor.

Oddybobo says "Pick me! Pick me!"


What do you say?
