Scalia. Period.
My top ten picks for new justice, in order of most likely to least likely:
1. Janice Rodgers Brown
2. Edith Jones
3. Michael Luttig
4. tie: one of
(i) Sam Alito;
(ii) Michael McConnell; or
(iii) Emilio Garza
7. Ted Olson
8. Edith Clement
9. Ken Starr
10. John Ashcroft
In the case of two consecutive nominees getting shot down I predict the nuclear option, Orrin Hatch.
Anyone else care to go on record?
As for the suggestions of the Dim witted Senators lil Chuckie Schumer and drunken womanizer Dodd that the old cowgirl un-retire, SFTU and show some respect!

I heart Scalia, but for those very reasons - his strict, principled approach (which don't always always lead to results I would want but which are pretty unassailable as a theoretical matter), he would not be the right choice for CJ. What's his rep wth the other justices?
