Who will the newest SUPREME COURT Justice? What is the Strategy?

Lots of names and opinions floating around out there for who Obama will pick as his second SC justice appointment. Rumors abound, many of which include Hillary Clinton and even Al Gore! Obviously, media fodder!

There is discussion on a possibility of not appointing a judge at all, but a politician. The buzz about Obama's strategy in his appointment is interesting.

Some serious names floating around include Diane Wood and Merrick Garland, Solicitor General Elena Kagan, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

Who do you think might be a good appointee, and why? I always find it helpful to get the wide array of ideas about these kinds of things because we come from all over the US, and the world!

Justice Steven's retirement from the court really is serious in terms of how the court could swing in decisions. And the GOP is already starting the conservative posturing about confirmation. I really think they would love to stop any appointment from going through until after the mid[-term elections...
