Supreme speculation

Interesting article in this morning's Salt Lake Tribune speculating on the potential nomination of Tenth Circuit Judge Michael McConnell, of Salt Lake City, to the U.S. Supreme Court. If it's a newspaper's job to speculate, then this article does is pretty well done -- not only does it ruminate about who President Bush might select should Chief Justice Rehnquist retire, but it also gives credit to Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, for telling President Clinton to appoint Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer.
