Scalia. Period.
My top ten picks for new justice, in order of most likely to least likely:
1. Janice Rodgers Brown

3. Michael Luttig
4. tie: one of
(i) Sam Alito;
(ii) Michael McConnell; or
(iii) Emilio Garza
7. Ted Olson
8. Edith Clement
9. Ken Starr
10. John Ashcroft
In the case of two consecutive nominees getting shot down I predict the nuclear option, Orrin Hatch.
Anyone else care to go on record?
As for the suggestions of the Dim witted Senators lil Chuckie Schumer and drunken womanizer Dodd that the old cowgirl un-retire, SFTU and show some respect!

In light of the CJ appointment I have revised my list:
1. Janice Rodgers Brown
2. Edith Jones
3. Edith Clement
The real issue now becomes when will Scalia retire? I believe its well known that he has said privately that if he didn't get CJ he was out of there. $$$$. While there are several good reasons for the Roberts pick, passing over Scalia was a hard slap in the face to the conservatives' best friend on the court.
I say he retires the day after the end of the next session. June 2006.
