DEL.ICIO.USAnother short list — but this one doesn’t include Sonny Perdue
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Should a Democrat win the White House in November, the immediate question becomes who he/she would pick for the next opening on the U.S. Supreme Court.
The name of Leah Sears, chief justice of the Georgia Supreme Court, currently tops one list on a legal blog run by a law professor at Ohio State University.
“Age 52 and the only African-American female chief justice in the United States,” is how Douglas Berman describes Sears.
Hat tip to Jason Pye and Peach Pundit for this one.

This type of “entitlement sentiment” will be prevalent amongst a Obama nomination.

It is quite simple! Obamma wins the election. Hillary Clinton gets the nod for the next opening on the Supreme Court! Halleluah! Praise Jesus! Praise Hillary!!!!!

I would love to see this happen, and she certainly IS qualified.
I have been voting for Judge Sears ever since she approached me in person asking for my vote at the Inman Park Festival about 20 years ago. IMO, she is one of the few “leaders” we have in Georgia to be proud of in the recent past.
