Supreme Court Gossip: Elizabeth Warren To Replace Justice Stevens?

The latest gossip among the chattering lawyers is that Elizabeth Warren may be in line for the Supreme Court nomination to replace Justice Stevens. Professor Warren would likely be a more popular choice and face less Republic resistance than many potential nominees. Her nomination would also provide a strong example against the rule that law professors make lousy nominees because they have said and written too much.

In fact, Professor Warren’s populist message is exactly the sort that would give the Republican leadership pause because it’s so likely to be popular with their own constituents.  Given Professor Warren’s personal background as a consumer debtor attorney, it’s extremely likely also that during her term she would forever change the operation of finance in the United States.
