Judicial Nomination Wishful Thinking

[elfs]

Although I am probably not at all going to be correct, if Bush wanted someone "in the Roberts mode," he could do no better than Richard Posner or Alex Kozinski. Those two deserve that seat in a way Gonzales or Meiers never could.

If intellectual rigor is what the court needs, it couldn't do better than those two. Unfortunately, Posner's 66, but he's still an unbelievably prolific writer. Kozinski's paper trail is fascinating stuff.

Naaah. Who am I kidding? We're going to get another Souter.

Heh. Kozinski has a review of the Sega Genesis vs. Super Nintendo from the WSJ during the period of time where it was an interesting question. That alone is enough to secure my support; the SCotUS needs gamer representation!

Oh, my. He has multiple console and Nintendo-related pieces from the WSJ back in the day. I like this one. Beats the heck out of that wierd Miers chick.
