I would absolutely swoon if The President nominated Btown, but I really don't think it is a shoo-in that he will nominate a woman.
There are so many very good conservative candidates he could choose.
I think that it would be good if he nominated Luttig, though ---
Then publicly suggest strongly that Souter or Stevens ought to swftly resign from the USSC to open up a seat that he can nominate a woman to replace THEM - and vow that he would nominate a woman for THAT seat.
I like Luttig too.
ROTFLOL --- your idea regarding Souter/Stevens.
