Who Would You Choose?

Today's New York Times has an interactive feature that lets you play President for the day by choosing your favorite from among the potential nominees to fill the spot on the SCOTUS that Justice Souter will vacate in June.  After you have made your choice, you can compare it to the votes of other readers.  When I took it, Judge Sonia Sotomayor was way ahead of the field.  The man who appointed her to the Second Circuit in 1997, Bill Clinton, was a write-in candidate at number 16.
