According to Bloomberg News, the Obama administration has zeroed in on three candidates to replace Justice John Paul Stevens, who now says he "will surely" retire during Obama's presidency, and two are women.
The front-runner is Solicitor General Elena Kagan and the other two are federal appellate judges Diane Wood and Merrick Garland.

Do they have “compelling” life stories too? That’s seem to be BO’s only requirement. What a crock.
Believe NOTHING announced by this crowd.
Let the dissection begin!
3 Candidates...
Kommisar Elena Kagan, Party Secretary Diane Wood, and Comrade Merrick Garland.
I think Wood will get the nod.
Wasn’t she up for it last time..
Yep!
We need to start opposition research now..
Actually I’d feel safer if the 3 candidates were ... MOE, Larry and Curly
Oh, no! The Kagan woman is only 49. That means, if she stays on the court as long as Stevens, she’ll be there for the next FORTY years. Think about that for a minute.
**Wasnt she up for it last time..**
Wasn’t that Kimba Wood ... the one that was in Playboy or something like that??
LOL
Naw . .the Jewish seats are already taken
Nyuk nyuk
Marxist.
More Marxist.
Most Marxist.
Good one. I love that. Brevity-the soul of wit.
I wont be surprised if it’s Kagan, but as far as I’m concerned, her determined effort to keep military recruiters off the campus of Harvard Law school disqualify her.
She could do a good job also.
It is between Hillary & Holder.....
**keep military recruiters off the campus**
for US a disqualifier
for Fuhrer OBAMA.. that act calls for a PROMOTION
Wood: Lecturer, Univ. of Chicago School of Law
Garland: Born in Chicago, Illinois
Celebrate diversity!
But confirmation depends on whether the GOP members of the Judiciary Committee feel as I do. If they are horrified as I am, Obummer would do well to choose someone who is not so blatantly disrespectful of our military.
Meanwhile, it looks like the evil white guy would be the least objectionable:
