Chuck Todd has a list of the six people most likely to be appointed to the Supreme Court by Obama. One of them is a dude! And all of them are old!

Bush got to appoint the Chief Justice, and he picked a 12-year-old. John Roberts will run that court for another thirty years. You need someone who'll outlive him, hopefully by a lot, because by the time Roberts and Alito retire, there will be a lot of important work to be done fixing everything they ruined.

Here is Obama's list:

Diane Wood, 58
Elena Kagan, 49
Sonia Sotomayor, 54
Jennifer Granholm, 50
Janet Napolitano, 51
Merrick Garland, 56

All of these people would probably make a fine Justice. But none of them would be a fine Justice for forty years! Barack Obama, we demand you nominate Dora the Explorer to the court. She's young, Hispanic, and she could presumably figure out the original intentions of the framers of the constitution if provided with a map and a talking monkey.
