SCOTUS Analyst: Loretta Lynch 'Most Likely Candidate' to Replace Scalia

A leading Supreme Court analyst thinks Attorney General Loretta Lynch is the "most likely candidate" to replace the late conservative Justice Antonin Scalia.

Tom Goldstein, who runs the influential SCOTUSblog, had earlier predicted Ninth Circuit Judge Paul Watford would make the top of President Obama's shortlist. But in a revised blog post, Goldstein said he now believes Lynch is the leading contender.

Lynch is a "very serious possibility," Goldstein wrote. "The fact that Lynch was vetted so recently for attorney general also makes it practical for the president to nominate her in relatively short order."

  1. Why do we have to "replace" Scalia? There is nothing in the Constitution that says we have to have 9 justices on the Supreme Court. You can look it up!

  7. The Republicans need to finally do their jobs and find a way to stop Obama from placing the final nail in our coffin. I bet Obama had a big smile on his face when he learned Scalia was dead.

  12. Just because someone was vetted / confirmed for one position does not mean they would be confirmed for another position of similar description. She has proven she does not believe in the Constitution as written but by her political beliefs.
