Judicial Appointment Ping

J. Michael Luttig yes, Wilkinson, no way. He's already 60. Lutting has had the good fortune of having been Scalia's law clerk.

Speaking of federalism, this proposed tort reform is a terrible idea. If conservatives can read the commerce clause as allowing it, then there is no difference between us and the left on federalism.

The states can deal with it, and many already have.

I'd pick Ken Starr....That'd make the Loony Left spit blood and foam at the mouth.. ;-)

There is significant cause for concern in this description of one of the judges:

"He is conservative, but most people would say he is more moderately conservative," said a professor of law at the University of Virginia, A.E. Dick Howard, who knows both judges. He said Judge Wilkinson is a "pragmatic" judge, concerned with "the way an opinion plays out in practical terms."

"It would not surprise me to see him voting with and reasoning along the lines of O'Connor and Kennedy, as opposed to Scalia and Thomas," he said.

O'Connor and Kennedy clones? No thanks!
