re: #418 SpaceJesus

There’s always been people who feel that the S.Ct. should reflect certain ethnic, religious, and geographical regions. Throw in the fact that the court currently includes a predominantly Ivy league disposition, and all the members were former federal court judges, there’s a push among some watchers to promote a non-judge (Kagan being a solicitor general for example), and others want to see a nominee from a non-Ivy (particularly Harvard/Yale).

It’s all about figuring out who might be the nominee. We’ll find out in the next month (before Memorial Day recess).
