Obama's Possible Supreme Court Nominees

Salon.com reviews the possibilities. Their top ten candidates:

Sonia Sotomayor, 54 (I once argued an appellate case in front of her, and my knees-shaking impression was that she was very sparkly and vivacious. And kind.)

Deval Patrick, 52 (my governor!)

Elena Kagan, 48

Merrick Garland, 56

Cass Sunstein, 54

Diane P. Wood, 58

Jennifer Granholm, 49

Leah Ward Sears, 53

Harold Hongju Koh, 53

Ruben Castillo, 54

The Los Angeles Times also reviews the possibilities, and names many from salon.com's list, as well as

Janet Napolitano, 50 (governor of Arizona)
