Word is that the two Ediths (Jones and Clement) from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals are finalists
for President Bush’s nomination to the Supreme Court. No confirmation
of rumors that Howard Dean, Paul Begala and James Carville have already
been seen picking through their garbage in an effort to find
pre-hearing dirt on the two.
UPDATE: Smart money is on Clement. Here’s her bio. Wait’ll Joe Biden sees she’s a member of The Federalist Society.
She’s also a Southerner (U. of Ala. undergrad, Tulane law school), so I
can’t wait for the demagogery that’s sure to accompany that.
