I'd like to see Estrada, but I'm not holding my breath. I think there'll be two nominations; one for Chief Justice, and the other to replace Rehnquist.
I agree. Scalia or Thomas will probably get promoted, and someone else will be nominated to take their former place as associate justice.
Free Miguel!
I think that might be the best strategy. Don't let the Dems focus on one nominee. If they try to filibuster, nuke 'em. And not just judicial nominations. Let's get Bolton through, too.
