Looks like it's going to be Kagan for the SC vacancy. First gay justice? Not sure. I always wondered about Souter. I dunno. There was a blogger (Salon or Time??) that "outed" her but got heavy pushback from the White House. I don't know much about her other than she is said to have an expansive view of presidential prerogatives and is respected by some conservatives. Glenn Greenwald has evidently written quite a detailed and mostly negative analysis of her which I will read sometime today or tomorrow.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
