I think the Dems and those seven Republicans already got tricked into confirming Janice Brown and the others. I am beginning to think that Rove had a hand in this through Lott -- beginning to make sense to me. Get Brown confirmed and then nominate her or one of the other to the Supremes. I could be wrong but something about that agreement made no sense especially when my two Oklahoma Senators didn't hit the warpath against it instead saying at least we got some judges confirmed.
Now with Warner being a jerk, maybe he thinks they got snookered as well. That would be poetic justice. I really think he will name a woman to replace the first woman on the SCOTUS and I hope it is Brown but I will be more than happy to have Owens too. I have wondered why Brown was not named to the 9th circus court.
Or all of them? :-)
Bush will almost certainly (barring the wildly unforeseen) get to replace Rehnquist. Stevens is 85. Ginsburg has had cancer. Breyer is no spring chicken. So he could well have the chance to replace one of those.
