Sadly, this will not affect the decision on Shakespeare. We'll have to wait for Stevens to go before the poor old Bard can get his rep back.

Granholm mentioned as possible Supreme Court justice candidate

Gov. Jennifer Granholm's name is being bandied around today on the morning news shows as a potential replacement for U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter, who reportedly has told the White House he's retiring.

Granholm, 50, a Harvard law graduate and former state attorney general and federal prosecutor, is mentioned as one of a handful of candidates who may be appointed by President Barack Obama to replace Souter, a liberal jurist and 18-year veteran of the high court.

"President Obama may want to pick somebody young, perhaps somebody from politics ... a former governor," said Alan Dershowitz, Felix Frankfurter professor of law at Harvard University, during an interview on CNN.

Dershowitz said Granholm is among many "excellent, excellent picks" for the court, but he acknowledged he may be a little biased because Michigan's governor is a former student of his.

The short list making the rounds today comes from external sources, not from the White House. The names on the list are mostly women. But Dershowitz said President Obama is not obligated to choose a woman or a minority to replace Souter, who is a white male.

Liz Boyd, spokeswoman for the governor, said: "Gov. Granholm has made it clear on numerous occasions that she intends to complete her term as governor."

Granholm, whose term expires in 2010, has denied interest in the job.

We could have gotten rid of her.

It will come one day....it has to come eventually...

At least as a SC justice, she can't hurt the economy much any more.

I don't think Souter leaving, and being replaced by the Obama admin will have much effect on the SC ideology? Seems to me that he's pretty liberal and will be replaced by same.

[Scipio]

Our only homosexual SC justice retiring?  Martinus, man the barrigaydes!

Not really.  The left just gets to lock down Souter's seat from twenty more years to forty more years.

I wonder how much Obama's going to get for the position?

On the bright side, I don't think Monica Conyers has denied interest yet.
