USAToday reports Bush has only a couple of simple known criteria. First, he wants ideological consistency. Second, he wants longevity.

- Samuel Alito, 3rd Circuit (New Jersey)
- Emilio Garza, 5th Circuit (Texas)
- Edith Jones, 5th Circuit (Texas)
- J. Michael Luttig, 4th Circuit (Virginia)
- Michael McConnell, 10th Circuit (Utah)
- James Harvie Wilkinson III, 4th Circuit (Virginia)
