White House reporter John King at CNN says he is getting 'pushback' from those closely involved in the selection process that he 'should not go there' with Edith Jones Clement.

Update: Within the past hour staffers on the Senate Judiciary Committee have begun steering people away from her.

A gentle head fake this morning in the wrong direction?

Clement, good. Jones, even better. Brown, better still.

FR Beats ABC/Hannity by 30 seconds!

To better steer people away from her I'd put out a table with free refreshments and set up an extra spiked punch bowl.

My top 3 choices are Michael Savage, Janice-Rogers Brown and Mel Gibson

Folks, I'm a tellin ya all that our president is mind fuc*ing the libs and the lamestream media. I believe he despises them (rightfully) as much as they despise him (wrongfully).

He knows he is in the cat bird seat with this Rove nonsense and that in the end the moron tin foil hat types are going to once again be forced to extract their foot from their collective mouth. he knows he can get any nominee passed he proposes because the need is for only 2 or 3 of the gang of 7 to bail on the agreement and they have the nuke optiopassed if needed. I believe that required number has already said they would not allow filibustering based on ideology alone. I also think Rehnquist was asked by the president to hold off a bit on his announcement since the court is out of session anyway and a week or 2 or 3 won't matter. I'm sure Bush knows exactly who is other nominees are to be for Rehnquist and the other 2 who may retire before '08.

Are you nuts? What about Clint Eastwood?

Larry Klayman.....

[LS]

He has to be having fun with this.

diane sykes, former WI supreme court justice.

For some reason, bush picked her for federal appeals court. Her replacement was picked by by liberal governor jim doyle, which turned the court from a conservative marjority to a liberal majority.

She is also the ex wife of conservative author and radio show host charlie sykes.

Wait a sec..didn't Rove do the same thing for the TIME correspondent?

[gopwinsin04]

I'm still holding firm on re-nominating Robert Bork.

[GoLightly]

Be fun to watch Kohl & Feingold go apoplectic, after they both supported pulling her from Wisconsin's high court.

[dangus]

I think the media and congressional staffers just got the news of the "short list" of Edith Borwn, Edith Clemens and Maura Corrigan, and started speculating it would be Clemens... and speculation turned to rumor.

I'm still holding firm on re-nominating Robert Bork.

Imagine how the last 20 years would have been different had Reagan not misjudged Senate opposition to Bork. Rehnquist-Bork-Scalia-Thomas--a wall of Conservative power. ah, what should have been. (and Edith Jones instead of milquetoast Souter as #5)

[Hugin]

I still say Ann Coulter is the best choice.
