BREAKING: MSNBC reports Sotomayor next SCOTUS justice

Harriet Miers......*duck*

jk I'm saying William J. Clinton.

Only if Obama wants a real fight on his hands and wants to relive the past.  I doubt it.

the pick will occur "next week"

That's what the media said last week.

There's really no reason to rush the pick - SCOTUS doesn't need a new Justice until October, and Senate Judiciary has too much on its plate to take up any nomination immediately, anyway.  Obama should make sure the candidate is fully vetted instead of rushing to nominate someone who we later find out, say, hasn't paid his taxes or has a nanny problem.
