In my RH Reality Check article today, I speculated that Obama’s SCOTUS shortlist included Sonia Sotomayor, Diane Wood, Elena Kagan, Jennifer Granholm, Deval Patrick, Kathleen Sullivan, Cass Sunstein and Janet Napolitano. Turns out the actual list has been leaked, and I was only partially right. Obama is considering Solicitor General Elena Kagan, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, U.S. Appeals Court judges Sonia Sotomayor and Diane Pamela Wood, and California Supreme Court Justice Carlos Moreno. I’m disappointed that my two favorites, Kathleen Sullivan and Pamela Karlan (apparently I should have gone to Stanford for law school…), aren’t listed, but overall the choices look pretty solid. Thoughts?
