Potential Court Picks for a President Romney

Reuters previews what a Romney Administration short-list for a Supreme Court vacancy might look like.  Among those identified are former Solicitor General Paul Clement and federal appellate judges Neil Gorsuch (10th Circuit), Brett Kavanaugh (D.C. Circuit), Jeffrey Sutton (6th Circuit), Diane Sykes (7th Circuit), and Steve Colloton (8th Circuit).  The story also identifies others who could become viable nominees after early service in a Romney Administration or an early appellate confirmation, such as Viet Dinh and Miguel Estrada.  Should Romney be elected, any such list will soon be supplemented with the names of others who are either nominated to appellate courts and legal positions within the Executive Branch.  One should also not forget to look at state officials and supreme court justices, such as Colorado’s Allison Eid.
