The Supreme Court Shortlist

Left wing Slate has come up with what it thinks is "The Supreme Court Shortlist"

  • Michael J. Luttig
  • John Roberts
  • Emilio Garza
  • Michael McConnell
  • Alberto Gonzales
  • J. Harvie Wilkinson III
  • Edith Brown Clement
  • Samuel Alito
It does provide interesting documentation of what they think the confirmation battle would be if this judge was nominated, plus it shows their position on major issues such as
  • Civil Rights and Liberties
  • Separation of Church and State
  • Environmental Protection and Property Rights
  • Criminal Law
  • Abortion
  • Habeas Corpus
  • Judicial Philosophy


I don't think they have listed all of the candidates, but it it is interesting to see what the Left thinks Bush will do
