Short list for the Court

As you probably have heard Justice Sandra Day O'Conner has sent her letter of resignation to the President. And now the real battle begins in Washington over who will replace such a pivotal person on the Court. Slate has compiled its own list of who the President is looking at. Personally none of the people mentioned are good choices, and further more, it looks as if Bush will wait till after he returns from Europe, around the July 8th, before he names a Nominee. In the mean time speculation will run wild in the press.
