 Political Wire: "The National Journal's Insiders Poll finds that a majority of Republican lawmakers believe it would be better for the president to nominate Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to the Supreme Court than a conservative jurist like Appeals Court Judge J. Michael Luttig. Twenty-nine Republicans would prefer a Gonzales nomination, whereas 19 would rather have a conservative like Luttig."
Western Democrat: "We don't often write about judges, Supreme they may be, or not. But, the West has a good track record of sending great Justices back east to sit on the Supreme Court. My favorite is obviously William O. Douglas. In all of this SCOTUS scribbling, it shouldn't be lost on anyone that Sandra Day O'Connor was of the West."
TalkLeft: "Reuters has a good article today on the influence blogs will have in the upcoming battles over Supreme Court nominations."
TalkLeft: "The New York Times reports this morning that 56 Senators were not around the last time a Supreme Court nominee came before them. Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) now leads the Senate Judicary Committee which has only 8 of 18 members with prior experience. Specter had a re-election fight on his hands after the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearing where he was less than kind to Anita Hill's allegations."
