If I were Bush, here's what I would consider doing: I would not nominate anyone until late next summer just before the Congressional election campaign started.If I were Bush, I wouldn't appoint anybody. Just let the Supreme Court function with 8 justices.
Wouldn't that put the Court at 4-4 on most cases?
That means Appeals Courts would make most decisions. Good way to neuter the Supreme Court for three years or so.

1.The Supreme Court would still have 9 justices, because Sandra Day O'Connor is remaining until her replacement in confirmed.
2. You want Hillary Clinton to appoint the next Supreme Court justice?
