Justice O'Connor replacement information

Sandra Day O'Connor.jpgWith Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's resignation announcement this morning, the SCOTUSblog provides the following handy profiles of some of the leading replacement candidates:

Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Edith Hollan Jones, who is also the subject of an earlier background post here and Larry Ribstein's choice;

Judge Janice Rogers Brown of the D.C. Court of Appeals;

Fifth Circuit Judge Edith Brown Clement

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales

Moreover, if President Bush elects to dip into the pool of candidates to replace Chief Justice William Rehnquist, this post and this post from earlier this year profile the likely candidates.

Finally, SCOTUSblog also provides The Supreme Court Nomination Blog, which provides more in-depth analysis of the positions taken and decisions written by some of the prominent candidates.
