Who will Obama nominate to replace Souter?
 

Ok, easy question, and you guys who always tell us "I predicted this..." better make a guess or you forfeit your prophet certificate.

Who will Obama nominate for Supreme Court Justice to replace David Souter?

You can click multiple items, so feel free to pick a combination, like White Male, or Hispanic Female, or Asian Male Gay, etc.

Please, don't make nonsense picks, like Male Female White Black Eskimo ....

SUBSIM Battle Mug to the person who gets closest (if more than one, a winner will be chosen at random).

Jason, for gods sake, don't screw up the poll! :doh:

I picked all except for the last 2. I think Obama, should pick me; I've gots lotsa minority in me:

short, hobbit, pudgy, semi-blind, diabetic, russian speaking, likes abba (oops, did I type that), never won a superbowl:damn:

what did i miss?

I have had grand jury duty.

I voted for Pat Buchanan...

Just because he's got the name "Buchanan".

But seriously, I have no idea who he'll replace Souter with.

He's looking for the "ultimate" minority. I don't know about the hermaphridite part though. He'll probably need to spend some time in San Fransick-o for that aspect.


...or he'll pick one of his buds from from chicago; blago?

The only one I am quite sure on is it will be a woman.

Obama is not going to rattle the PUMA cages more by going for another male on the supreme court.

Gay? A possibility because there is enough time for people to get to know before 2012 but its risky and I dont expect Obama to take risks.

Out of curiosity, why wasn't Cthulhu an option? Why settle for a lesser evil?:D

I chose a hispanic female, although a black male isn't out of the question.

As an aside, isn't it sick how someone's gender and heritage seems at least equally (if not more) important than their qualifications in this matter?

Anyone ever wonder why racism and misogynism is still commonplace?

This is your answer.

Hispanic, Female, liberal.

Sonia Sotomayor

Why not an Asian? We ain't had one of those folks on the SC yet...

Ya hit the nail on the head there Aramike... The Dems are way more concerned about race than the Republicans have ever been. They always have going back to the Civil war.

I concur.

I believe he will select an openly gay individual. He needs the gay vote in 4 years. He lost those in the past election and specifically in CA. After all, he did believe marriage was between a man and a women(by definition). That did not bode well in the gay community. Good thing he was not up for the Miss America Competition:O:

"Needs the gay vote"

Son pay attention he already has this vote, he dosent need to pander to them.

Oh I almost forgot, Neal you left out "Tax cheat" in your poll. :salute:

Well there does seem to be a certain pattern there you must admit.

By George, your right. Last I heard he was not getting much support from the gay community. No matter, I still believe the selection will be a gay individual.
