http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/sandra-day-oconnor-obama-choose-scalias-replacement/story?id=37022389&nwltr=wn_tcoRONALD REAGAN's PICK has spoken!!! So Republicans, be silenced!!!!!
Former Justice Sandra Day OConnor said President Obama should fill the seat on the Supreme Court bench that has been vacated following the sudden death of Justice Antonin Scalia, in an interview with Arizona station FOX10 Phoenix.
I think we need somebody, there, now, to do the job, and lets get on with it, said OConnor, splitting with Republicans who have advocated that the president hold off on filling the seat until the next president is in the White House.
Though OConnor, a Reagan appointee, said it is unfortunate that a vacancy was created in an election year, the process should not be stalled as a result.
We just have to pick the person you can under the circumstances as the appointing the authority must do, she said. "And its an important position and one that we should care about as a nation and as a people and I wish that the president will as he makes choices and goes down that line."

She hated that woman for what she did until the day she died. Her and the other 4.
