Word on the street is that Michael B. Mukasey will be high on the short list. Everyone at the financial markets thinks that this would be a good choice since he is a staunch Reagan conservative but could probably be confirmed more easily than some of the other names because of his ties to Guiliani.

What nominee will best be able to apply the all-important "Sandra thinks it's icky" test that has guided our supreme jurisprudence the last decade and more? THAT'S who you want on the Court.
