WASHINGTON (AP) - Mich. Gov. Jennifer Granholm is among those possibly considered to replace Justice David Souter who is planning to retire after nearly two decades on the Supreme Court.

President Barack Obama's first pick for the high court is likely to be a liberal-leaning nominee, much like Souter.

The White House has been told that Souter will retire in June, when the court finishes its work for the summer, a source familiar with his plans said Thursday night. The retirement is likely to take effect only once a successor is confirmed.

God help us. Can she be named if she was born in Canada?

[AppyPappy]

Not only that, she is grossly incompetent. Michigan is a mess.

[Kieri]

We won’t get rid of Mrs. Indecisive that easily. She’s not done “blowing away” the state of Michigan.

[taildragger]

Then their would definitely be a leftist mole on the Supreme Court....

That is funny if you are from MI...

[fortheDeclaration]

President Barack Obama's first pick for the high court is likely to be a liberal-leaning nominee, much like Souter.

Likely?

Talk about weak journalism!

[Old Sarge]

Three words: Justice Bernadine Dorhn.

[Darren McCarty]

That would be insane. She's never been a judge and has never shown any experience in any sort of con law. Four years as attorney general and being Wayne County counsel does not prepare one for SCOTUS.

Granholm would be the Harriet Miers of the left.

[Joe Boucher]

Michigan is in the toilet. And Gov. Jennifer Granholm has not done anything to help the situation.
She is about what one expects from this assclown obamma lamma.

[kalt]

Rintense, she doesn’t need to be a natural-born citizen, a judge, or even a lawyer. She just needs to be confirmed by the Senate.

[cripplecreek]

Can she be named if she was born in Canada?

That doesn't appear to matter with anything anymore.

We have president who may or may not legally hold the office, senators being nominated for positions they're constitutionally ineligible to hold, and a secretary of state who holds an office of "iffy" constitutional legality.

[strange1]

Not only that, she is grossly incompetent. Michigan is a mess.

Amen to that, Peter principle at it's extreme.

[cripplecreek]

From a democrat point of view Granholm would be ideal.

They won’t really lose a democrat governor because Gub’ner Jenni is term limited and is soon to go anyway.

[silverleaf]

Maybe she’ll do for the USSC what she’s done for Michigan?

blame Canada!

(this woman has scary eyes...cold...she’s a committed ideologue)

[Niuhuru]

It’s not like Obama has any vast experience in anything and he is after all President of the United States.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Justice Hillary Rodham Rodham.

[Niuhuru]

That sounds like a lot of men :)P

[556x45]

In this age of 0bama those are considered assets.

[Darren McCarty]

And Bacrock is FUBARing this entire country.

[Bob Buchholz]

I seriously doubt this. She is the wrong color.

[IMissPresidentReagan]

I heard this last night ... and wanted to scream. :( From bad to worse in 0.3

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Granholm would be the Harriet Miers of the left.

Probably... except she'd breeze through confirmation on roller skates. Democrats are sycophants and sheep. Whatever the messiah says, goes.

That's going to be true no matter who he selects, up to and including Bernardine Dohrn.

[A Strict Constructionist]

“She is the wrong color.”

Wrong religion as well.

[Non-Sequitur]

President Barack Obama's first pick for the high court is likely to be a liberal-leaning nominee, much like Souter.

Ya think?

[sergeantdave]

Granholm kayaked in Lake Superior a few years back in a campaign stunt and she asked which side of the paddle was the left side and was disappointed that she didn’t see any penguins.

When sighting a Coast Guard vessel in the distance, Granholm queried her guide on whether the ship was carrying iron ore from Minnesota. When told “No” she said that’s good because she didn’t want it to sink like the Edmund Fitzgerald and the Titanic did in Lake Superior back in 1975. When told the Titanic didn’t sink in Lake Superior, she expressed surprise and asked if it’s still hauling iron ore from Minnesota.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

This is a no-brainer. Valerie Jarret goes to the SCOTUS. Granholm ^might^ replace her as WH Counsel.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Here’s one that will make your heart stop...

Michelle Obama to the SCOTUS.

[Knute]

That's going to be true no matter who he selects, up to and including Bernardine Dohrn.

Heck, he could appoint the first Duet Judge Team- Dohrn & Ayers together

[Cathy]

It’s called the Peter Principle.

[jackv]

I am not a bit surprised. She fits in perfectly with the rest of bo’s low calibre appointees.

Will God ever stop this madness?

Or will we simply have to endure this liberal reign, unchecked, no oversight, no controls... as it destroys America?

[rintense]

I’ll up you one: Bill Clinton

[vikingd00d]

<< Justice Hillary Rodham Rodham.

Justice Perez Hilton

[laker_dad]

I’ll up you one: Bill Clinton

Scary indeed, but you'd think bambi would pick someone younger & healthier.

[DouglasKC]

Oh wow. That’s a dilemma. It will get her out of Michigan which she’s ruined. But it will give her a chance to do potentially more damage. I think Michigan is going to have to take one for the team and keep her here.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Nah...that one isn’t that scary. He’ll just use the post to scare up more p-—y.

[dfwgator]

Anything to get her out of Michigan.

[rintense]

But not this. No way. Bringing Michigan destruction to the Constitution? No thanks.

[dfwgator]

Wouldn’t it just be replacing one liberal justice with another?

[magslinger]

ping

[rintense]

Yeah, but a stupid, insipid Canadian? Come one! ;) She’s done as governor anyway due to term limits.

[rintense]

that should be ‘come on!’. Coffee hasn’t kicked in yet.

[AlphaOneAlpha]

“Four years as attorney general and being Wayne County counsel does not prepare one for SCOTUS.”

A few years as a community organizer and about 3 years as an unaccomplished senator got us our current POTUS. He never as much managed a lemonade stand.

[magslinger]

[70th Division]

OH GOD NO! She is young and will be on the SCOUS for a very long time. And I am in Michigan. Let her die here. PLease.

[Condor51]

This is a no-brainer. Valerie Jarret goes to the SCOTUS. Granholm ^might^ replace her as WH Counsel.

I think you're right. Barry would love to appoint her. But with her scant legal career I don't *think* she'd even get out of the Senate Judiciary Committee for a floor vote ₍₁₎.

Plus, tThe RATS may be dumb but they ain't STOO-PID^™. Even they couldn't take being 'controlled' by a SCOTUS justice whose nothing but a Chicago Political Hack.

an aside: What I'm waiting for is Morris Dees name to pop up as a possible nominee. That commie maggot would be perfect for Barry - their goals are the same - Destroy the USA as we know it.

(1) Arlen's jump actually helps Republicans America in that respect, the RATS need one 'R' vote on the Judiciary Committee to move someone out.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

And...as others have already pointed out, Valerie has the correct amount of melanin.

[Highway55]

“Jenny, Jenny who can I turn to..............”

[SunkenCiv]

This is just a tease.

[Condor51]

And...as others have already pointed out, Valerie has the correct amount of melanin.

Yep, you're right.
Its disgusting when that becomes a 'qualification' for the Supreme Court - or anything.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Rush is really stuck on Sotomayor as the pick. Maybe but if recent history has its say, we could see a
Sotomayor pick -> Sotomayor scandal -> Sotomayor withdrawl -> Jarret pick.

Unless Opossum goes hardline, a la Geithner.
