But the rumors are awfully strong for Clement.

Bush likes to misdirect, so I think we may still get the first Hispanic Supreme Court nominee in many years. And I think it may still be Garza.
Also, the President doesn't necessarily have to make the announcement himself, although I would be surprised if he didn't. FDR sent the nomination of Senator Hugo L. (for liberal) Black (the opposite of his white KKK robe) directly to the Senate, where it was read aloud. Wouldn't you just LOVE the sight of Vice President Cheney reading aloud the name of an absolutely died-in-the-woll conservative-originalist who would send the Left into absolute hysteria while he was looking right at Pat Leahy?
