Never Mind

That's what I get for speculating about breaking news. AP, ABC, MSNBC, and CNN (they have no link yet, just a "Breaking News" on the home page) all are naming Judge John G. Roberts, Jr., of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit as W's nominee for the court. He's the second potential candidate discussed in the Slate rundown I mentioned in my previous post. Although Roberts has apparently been touted as a potential consensus candidate, Slate isn't so sure. However, at least until W makes it all official, I guess there's nothing left to do except go to the bar next door and wait for the reviews.
