AP: White House: No interviews of court candidates yet

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama has yet to interview any potential nominees for the upcoming opening on the Supreme Court, the White House said Friday.

But officials familiar with Obama's deliberations say the group of candidates under serious consideration by the president is largely set, barring a surprise in the coming days.

Obama is expected to start narrowing the group of candidates shortly, according to officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because Obama's search has been kept private...

Confirmed names under consideration are Solicitor General Elena Kagan, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, U.S. Appeals Court judges Sonia Sotomayor and Diane Pamela Wood and California Supreme Court Justice Carlos Moreno.

Obama is considering other candidates, too, say those familiar with his thinking.

All this time into his term, and we still haven't gotten a new SC justice.

:P

And I love him for it.
