In an article on possible replacements for Chief Justice Rehnquist if
he ends up retiring at the end of the Term, the Sunday [1]Washington
Post reports:
Bush and his inner circle have had tightly held deliberations and
no one can say for sure whom he might pick for chief justice, but
outside advisers to the White House believe the main candidates are
federal appeals Judges John G. Roberts and J. Michael Luttig and
possibly Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales.
It's hard to know what to make of views expressed by unnamed oustide
advisers, of course, but it's interesting nonetheless. Thanks to
[2]Howard for the link.
