This is a day or two old, but I haven't seen it posted. I thought the rumors about Cornyn were interesting, as well as the reports of Reid privately conceding defeat.

Wasn't there one other opening rumored to be coming up in the court?

I hope that website is right about the Stevens rumors.

If true, that would allow Bush to give the Court a conservative majority, finally!

By the way, National Review's Ramesh Ponnuru links this article and notes: "Most of what he's got tracks with what I'm hearing."

What I want to know is this. Last I checked the Republicans won the Oval Office and now control both houses of Congress so why does Charlie Schumer's threat of having a pro-Roe litmus test for judges wield so much weight? Ignore those yapping poodles and get back to the business at hand. I wish the Republicans would one time act like they are in power.

Two hours ago he said he will not resign. Gotta think he wants to keep a liberal out of his chair for as long as possible...

I concur with your thinking. How old is Coryn? How bright? I think Bush is looking at very bright, very young, to have maximum, long-term effect on the Court. If he is going to succeed in the Senate anyway (I agree with you there), that means there's no reason to appoint a Senator to make the process easier.

It looks to me like Bush is going to carry out his campaign statement, to name new Justices and a new Chief, "like Scalia and Thomas." I think that will include naming Scalia to replace the Chief.

When you lean back in your chair and think, Einstein's way of making discoveries BTW, the process becomes remarkably simple. See below.

When Bush announces a nominee, Chuck Schumer will denounce it as a distraction from Rove.
