Supreme Court Nomination Within a Week?

Posts seem to be in a dry spell following everyone's departure from Washington... tragic!

Anyway, in the spirit of interesting political news, it seems Obama will be picking a new Supreme Court nominee as early as next week. I suspect he's in a hurry to define his judicial legacy--unsurprising, given that the court has moved rightward in recent years, and the left is undoubtedly anxious for a nominee catering to their values.
