Obama Interviews Appeals Court Judge Wood For Supreme Court Nomination

President Obama on Wednesday held a private meeting with Appeals Court Judge Diane Wood to discuss her possible nomination to the Supreme Court, the New York Times reports. The meeting is thought to be Obama"s first one-on-one interview with a potential candidate to replace retiring Justice David Souter. A White House official said that other possible nominees will be interviewed. According to the Times, White House aides expect an announcement no earlier than next week (Zeleny, New York Times, 5/21). According to the AP/Google.com, Wood was in Washington, D.C., to attend a Georgetown University Law Center conference on the importance of judicial independence. Wood declined to comment on the meeting with Obama or the Supreme Court vacancy. Solicitor General Elena Kagan, another possible candidate, also attended the conference, where she delivered the keynote address (Sherman, AP/Google.com, 5/20). Kagan in her speech paid tribute to former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O"Connor, who was being honored at the conference, and discussed the independence of the Office of the Solicitor General. According to the Washington Post, conservative groups already are criticizing Wood and Kagan, as well as potential candidates Appeals Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor and Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D). The Post reports that Wood "is held in high esteem in liberal legal circles in Chicago for serving as an intellectual counterpart to the circuit"s star conservative judges." The Post reports that Obama has solicited the opinions from senators of both political parties, including every member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Robert Gibbs, Obama"s press secretary, said that Obama is "very active" in the decision-making process and that the nomination process is "something that he"s quite familiar with" (Barnes/Murray, Washington Post, 5/21).
