Who will be the next justice to retire, and who will be nominated to replace that person?
SCOTUSblog does some prognosticating and says California Attorney General Kamala Harris could be the next nominee tapped for the U.S. Supreme Court, replacing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. There's one big problem, though: Harris may not want the job.
In the lists of names, only one truly stands out as checking every box: Kamala Harris, Goldstein writes. Like the president, she is biracial, and she will be 50 years old in 2015. She is liberal, but she has a law enforcement background.
The only problem is that Harris could pass up a Supreme Court nomination because she would be early in her second term as attorney general at that point.
Another serious possibility is Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who knows the president from their service together in the Illinois legislature. Goldstein names seven other contenders, including former Michigan Attorney General Jennifer Granholm and two women with pending nominations to federal appeals courts: former New York solicitor general Caitlin Halligan and U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Nguyen.

Yes, there are the surface problems with those two women -Harris and Madigan.
But for those of you that read the White House Insider - Kamala Harris is a name you will recognize.

I just may have to have to vote for Romney to keep the Chicago thug politics out of SCOTUS. I said I would NEVER NEVER vote for Romney. I just don't know if I can do it.
Please LORD GOD do not let the Marxist Jack-Wagon in the White House get another Supreme Court pick...... Sadly I still don’t know if I could vote for Romney as he has a habit of picking liberal judges also!(That leaves Newt or Santorum)
What is important is that the people see to it that he doesn’t get a next pick!
Hey thats easy to answer:

People should reject the notion that every Scotus pick has to be some sort of victim group.
Obama will not get another Supreme Court nominee. His replacement will get three in rapid succession through the deaths of Ruth Bader Ginsburg who will die of cancer, Stephen Breyer who will die of old age, and Sonia Sotomayer who will die of a seizure induced by her poor management of her diabetes.
It is interesting to me that Ginsburg doesn’t retire before Obama could be out. Of course,she still has time .
Combine WHI and WSI with the amputated fingers of the staffer in the WH last week, and......
Diane Feinstein will smile and say nothing.
This is bad juju. Ulsterman may not be liked around here, but my hair, or what’s left of it, stands on end these days every time there’s a new piece out.
Betcha Sen. Linda Graham (RINO-SC) is drooling just thinking what a privilege it will be to vote a Moslem onto the high court.
It will boil down to replacing one fetid America-hating marxist who never should have been confirmed with another.
These people infected with Washington DC long to hold on to power and will hold it until they can’t anymore.
Just noticed that Tony West was on the defense team of John Taliban Walker.
I think that Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be around to annoy us for another decade or two. I know that she previously had a battle with cancer, but she strikes me as one of these skinny folks who can hang on for decades without seeming to age any further (my grandmother was like that).
