I am ready to go out on a limb. It is, I think, a mistake for seats to be labeled, that a woman can only replace a woman, for instance. However, to appoint one "minority" for another is probably acceptable. Women are not a minority, of course.
I'm ready to put my opinion on the line. I think the nominee will be an Hispanic. Specifically, I think it will be the man with the extraordinary background who was stalled for years without a vote, Miguel Estrada. The Democrats would look like fools to the whole nation to attempt to prevent a vote on a Supreme Court vacancy.
May this be like Buckhead's famous Post 47 in the Dan Rather mess. Pass it on.

Which Hispanic has a knowledge of the Constitution and loyalty to America sufficient to be a Supreme Court Justice?
He would be another excellent choice. His name was in my mind this morning too.
Re#12 I want Estrada too. Not just because of the political side. He is young, conservative, bright and will be a great justice. That the Dems will go even crazier is the cherry on top...
Ted Olsen or John Ashcroft
