Another Name in the Mix...

Alright, so I'm still sticking with Interior Secretary Gale Norton, but another name is being bandied about to replace Justice O'Connor.

That would be Edith Jones, from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. Professor Larry Ribstein, and my friend Todd Zywicki from George Mason Law School (Todd and I have talked about doing some work on 17th Amendment Reform), have both written about this, and their comments can be found here:

Also discussed by Professor Zywicki is Alice Batchelder of the Sixth Circuit.

The White House is going to put forth their recommendations later this week, so stay tuned!
