Rising Hegemon
By all accounts, Judge Wood is supremely qualified, writes Nathan Koppel in Thursday’s WSJ. She even garners some hedged support from conservatives. “Her opinions are all very scholarly” said American Enterprise Institute’s Michael Greve. “She is not a bleeding heart.”
The reason she’s viewed by many as a riskier pick than the others: she’s been relatively outspoken in her support of abortion rights.
Koppel writes that Judge Wood has expressed approval for the philosophy behind the Roe v. Wade decision establishing a woman’s right to abortion, which was written by her former boss, Justice Harry Blackmun.
Oh that CRAZY commie!

Dust off Kimba Wood. Did Monica Lewinsky get into law school yet? Can't we push Monica Goodling? O'B is missing so many ops itz heart breaking!
Well, what with all the reasonable centrists that George Bush put on the court, it'd only be fair for Obama to do the same.
let us savor.
After Obama's last remark about the "errors" of the Warren and Burger courts, I'm pretty much convinced he's decided to go with Kagan, or someone else with a tendency to kiss Republican ass.
Certainly not someone who's going to piss in Jeff Sessions' wheaties and smile when doing it--which is the someone we ought to have on the court....
if it greases the wheels on lower court noms.
