I think he almost has to fill this with a woman. I'd turn backflips to see Janice Brown or even Priscilla Owen nominated. I don't think it's going to happen. I mentioned another name in the other thread on this, who fits the bill of (a.) being a woman and (b.) being a Hispanic, and IMHO Bush would love a Hispanic on the court which, along with personal loyalty, is the reason why IMHO in his heart of hearts he wants Gonzales but that's a non-starter ... that would be Consuelo Callahan of the Ninth Circuit, who the president appointed in 2003. She's also only 52.

How good a judge is Consuelo? Is she solid pro-life? We also get a new pick on the Appellate Court to replace Roberts!

Here is a thread about U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Consuelo Maria Callahan that was posted after she was appointed by GWB in 2003 .
