WASHINGTON (AP) - Mich. Gov. Jennifer Granholm is among those possibly considered to replace Justice David Souter who is planning to retire after nearly two decades on the Supreme Court.

President Barack Obama's first pick for the high court is likely to be a liberal-leaning nominee, much like Souter.

The White House has been told that Souter will retire in June, when the court finishes its work for the summer, a source familiar with his plans said Thursday night. The retirement is likely to take effect only once a successor is confirmed.

Not only that, she is grossly incompetent. Michigan is a mess.

We won’t get rid of Mrs. Indecisive that easily. She’s not done “blowing away” the state of Michigan.

Likely?

Talk about weak journalism!

That would be insane. She's never been a judge and has never shown any experience in any sort of con law. Four years as attorney general and being Wayne County counsel does not prepare one for SCOTUS.

Granholm would be the Harriet Miers of the left.

Michigan is in the toilet. And Gov. Jennifer Granholm has not done anything to help the situation.
She is about what one expects from this assclown obamma lamma.

Rintense, she doesn’t need to be a natural-born citizen, a judge, or even a lawyer. She just needs to be confirmed by the Senate.

That doesn't appear to matter with anything anymore.

We have president who may or may not legally hold the office, senators being nominated for positions they're constitutionally ineligible to hold, and a secretary of state who holds an office of "iffy" constitutional legality.

From a democrat point of view Granholm would be ideal.

They won’t really lose a democrat governor because Gub’ner Jenni is term limited and is soon to go anyway.

It’s not like Obama has any vast experience in anything and he is after all President of the United States.
