Multiple sources are telling RedState that Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) will be the nominee.
Now that I'm at my desk and not banging away on my Treo, here's what I know. Cornyn was supposedly seen at the White House first thing this morning. One of Cornyn's big guns got a phone call, he went scrambling, then Cornyn went to the White House. Cornyn's office denies he was at the White House. Folks who keep their eyes open say he was there.
Cornyn's staff immediately disappeared. They are scrambling. Cornyn is suppose to be meeting with his top staff. Low level staffers are buzzing about the rumor.
A Supreme Court source says that they heard that Cornyn is the President's intended.
We don't know for sure. My key source is silent other than that the President wants to play identity politics and, by that, the source means the President wants someone who identifies with Texas. That leaves Garza, who is on the 5th Circuit, Gonzales, and it certainly puts Cornyn in play.
Had I a Magic 8 Ball, it would no doubt say "Signs Point To Cornyn."
I hope it's Garza.
But my reasons are purely selfish. We need him off the 5th Circuit.
A couple of years ago, I argued a case in front of him and Her High Holy Worship The Chief Judge of the 5th Circuit which I had won at trial. They had the gall to reverse. I was not impressed with Garza. Hell, I lost and consequently--vbg-I wasn't impressed with any of them, including some pompous old fool from Pennsylvania who sat as a designated judge.
All sour grapes aside, Garza was not impressive. Her High Holy Worship was sharp, though. |
