Diane Wood: Next Supreme Court Nominee
By Wink
According to Winkest Link inside sources, the next Supreme Court nominee will be Diane Wood.
Doubt us if you wish, but we got it right on Sonia Sotomayor. (See our articles of May 12, 2009 and May 28 2009)
We are going to roll the dice again on Diane Wood. A bit about her first….
Wood was educated at the University of Texas School of Law, where she was an editor of the Texas Law Review. She graduated in 1975 at the top of her class with high honors.
She was among the first women to clerk at the Supreme Court and, after working in private practice, became the third woman ever hired as a law professor at the University of Chicago Law School.
Wood was nominated to the Seventh Circuit by President Clinton, and was confirmed unanimously by the United States Senate.
Do NOT expect a unanimous confirmation this time though.
Almost every Obama effort has been opposed by Republicans, no matter how logical or innocuous the issue.
Nothing innocuous about this though, this is the Supreme Court. The battle will be furious.
