Souter Replacement Speculation
With the announcement that Justice Souter will be retiring at the end of the current term, the game of Supreme Court nomination speculation is in full gear.
The Blog of Legal Times lists all of the likely candidates, and some others are listed in the comments.
The National Law Journal lists most of the same likely candidates.
In this article, The New York Times lists the ages of some likely candidates.
In addition to birthdates, the Washington Post gives short biographies of the likely candidates.
And Brian Leiter is running a poll (including the obvious candidates and some that are listed for fun), where many of the voters will probably be law professors.
