Your SCOTUS short list?

Chuck Todd provides his dish, saying Director of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm are on the short list.

I don’t totally believe that. Obama at least gives the appearance of thinking far enough ahead not to have appointed Napolitano for so short-term a position. Plus, the “conservative terrorist” paper that DHS recently released would spell rough sailing in the Senate.

Diane Wood of the 7th Circuit Court would fit the bill of a Friend of Barack and of an appellate judge, as, of course, would Sonia Sotomayor. But, at 58, Wood’s the oldest.

Granholm? Might be the “gray” type that Obama favors.
