Nevada AG mentioned as possible Supreme Court nominee

LAS VEGAS (Legal Newsline)-Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto is being mentioned as a possible replacement for U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter who is retiring the summer.

Masto, a Democrat, could have a chance at a seat on the nation's highest court were Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., to whisper her name to President Barack Obama, writes Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Jane Ann Morrison.

In her Monday column, Morrison noted that Obama has said he is looking for a nominee with broader experience than just time on the bench, which would be in Masto's favor since she has never served as a judge.

Masto, 45, is quoted by Morrison as saying she would be open to a seat on the high court.

I'm assuming by her name she's latin, so that's another plus.

Obama's resume was never his strong suit, but that had no bearing on him being a leader and a becoming president. Obama could see this AG as a mirror of himself.
