My money is on Janice Rodgers Brown for O'Connor; and Priscilla Owens for Rehnquist. And the RATs will have a hard time bringing up their "extraordinary circumstances" clause seeing as how both were recently confirmed.

I think Janice Rodgers Brown would be the perfect choice. And the fun part is that it would drive the lefties absolutely stark, raving, gunny bag nuts.

When Rehnquist retires, I think Scalia will be nominated to take his place with either Priscilla Owens or Ted Olson for the remaining seat.

I agree with you on Janice Rodgers Brown. She's a minority, from a poor background, and was recently approved by the dims. They will squeal but approve her.

Ted Olson is too old, and Priscilla Owens is not electable. Look for Michael Luttig to replace Rhenquist. Elevating Scalia to CJ would create an additional battle, and is unlikely to happen.
