SUPPOSE W PICKED THIS WAY? (via PapayaSF):
Here's a handy Supreme Court Nominee Quiz to tell you what candidate matches your requirements.
I got:

LARRY THOMPSON
General Counsel for PepsiCo, former Deputy Attorney
General under John Ashcroft, 59 years old
A private citizen and never a judge, Thompson could
be the way to go if the President doesn't want
a sitting judge. He is the only African
American man on the "short list."
Many speeches, op-eds and other writings would
lend insight into his views on legal issues.

brought to you by Quizilla
I got Jones, who is, coincidentally, exactly who I predicted.
Shouldn't you start a pool on when Bush announces it?

Hmm, I would like Brown to be nominated, but this is who I got.

"Nuke em! I want the biggest fight I can get!"
Posted by: John Resnick at September 29, 2005 5:12 PMI got Judge Karen Williams.

Posted by: Jim in Chicago at September 29, 2005 5:22 PMI got Judge Garza. I also got no chance.
Posted by: Jeff at September 29, 2005 5:30 PMI got Bachtelder. Don't know what that means, if it means anything.
Posted by: Mike Morley at September 29, 2005 5:30 PMPriscilla Owen. Hotter than Maggie Thatcher and looks great in black.
Posted by: Patrick H at September 29, 2005 5:34 PMRandom responses to all questions and got:
"JUDGE KAREN WILLIAMS"
I got Corrigan, who I don't particularly favor in real life (not that I'm against her or anything).
Posted by: rds at September 29, 2005 5:43 PM"Consuelo Callahan"
Oddly enough, she's the one who has been stuck in my brain for a couple weeks, now.

Posted by: Bret at September 29, 2005 5:55 PMConsuelo Callahan. What a great all American name!

But Quizilla said Owens.
Posted by: erp at September 29, 2005 6:35 PMPriscilla Owens.
I changed last answer for Roberts, Thomas and Scalia and the pick was the same.
Posted by: Rick T. at September 29, 2005 7:15 PMCallahan. Neither dirty nor hairy, I trust.
Posted by: ghostcat at September 29, 2005 7:24 PMI got Karen Williams. NOT what I expected.
Posted by: Matt Murphy at September 29, 2005 7:26 PMI got Brown. A libertarian! I must have answered stuff wrong.
Posted by: Bob at September 29, 2005 8:02 PMI got Garza. A good choice.

Edith Jones
but I'll stick w/Corrigan.
Posted by: Dave W. at September 29, 2005 10:03 PMI got J.R. Brown.
Posted by: jefferson park at September 29, 2005 10:22 PMScary. I got Thompson, too.
Posted by: Melissa at September 30, 2005 1:36 AMLet it be known that I picked Larry Thompson as the replacement for O'Connor.
From the quiz I got
JUDGE EDITH HOLLAN JONES
Got Jones; wanted Brown.
