Supreme Court: Open Thread

I'll probably be offline when the announcement is made, so here's a place to alert everyone with updates on the impending announcement and your reactions to it.

For the latest news, stay tuned to Scotus Blog and How Appealing.

Update: American Progress has just launched a new blog as an offshoot to Think Progress, called Clerks, written by former U.S. Supreme Court clerks, which will be devoted to issues surrounding Supreme Court nominations.

    Bush was just asked during a press conference "When I know you will know" My guess is the rumor of Edith Brown Clement was floated to kill the Rov story for a day.

    With rumors swirling that President Bush has selected Edith Brown Clement of the conservative 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to be replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court, Democrats can get to down the business of planning their response. Their response should be to vote to confirm Judge Clement. Why? In a nutshell, Democrats should grudgingly accept Clement because she simply does not cross the threshhold of unsuitability...

    We have no court system just a political system of nothing.
