Who will be the next nominee?
Denied his first choice, President Bush scrambled on Thursday to find a new Supreme Court nominee who could calm a conservative rebellion and walk sure-footedly through a Senate confirmation hearing.
That could point to a handful of federal judges believed to have been finalists when Bush made his doomed choice of Harriet Miers.
Some top contenders are believed to be federal appellate judges Samuel Alito, J. Michael Luttig, J. Harvie Wilkinson, Alice Batchelder, Priscilla Owen and Karen Williams as well as Michigan Supreme Court Justice Maura Corrigan.
...Also being touted is Diane Sykes, who recently joined the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. A spokesman for Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, a Republican from her home state of Wisconsin, says she "has a wealth of experience, extremely solid intellect."

Don’t forget to take action and let Bush know that this decision is too important to rush!
