Bainbridge for Judge!
Now that Bush has chosen to push the big red button and start recess appointments for federal judges, we can start the 'who to appoint next' speculations. A mere day before I was going to suggest him anyway, Professor Bainbridge threw his hat in the ring.
Of course, you can't really throw your hat in the ring for this kind of process, but you can try to get noticed. Bainbridge is a libertarian-leaning thinker who opposes judicial activism (except when he's talking about wine, when he's a judicial activist). He's tough on parents who travel with ill-behaved children, he's kind to his dog, and he knows more about vintages than I'm ever likely to learn. What more do you need?
So, here's a great blogosphere candidate for a recess appointment. I think all of us right-leaning libertarians should link to his blog entry where he volunteers for the post with the text Potential Recess Appointment for Judge. If you're not a right-leaning libertarian, link anyway: Bush isn't going to recess nominate one of your guys, so you might as well help us out.
