Biden, Palin May Loom Large in Judge Picks

Here's an interesting article on how Biden, Palin May Loom Large in Judge Picks.

"Biden's credentials as a former chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee seem to give him more clout in this area, while Palin -- seen as the conservative weight on the Republican ticket -- is thought to be an assurance that Sen. John McCain will make good on his promise to nominate more judges in the mold of Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. and Justice Samuel Alito Jr."

"Palin brings less of a record in this regard, but she already has had more impact on the Alaska judiciary than her predecessor. Since taking office in December 2006, Palin has seated more than a dozen judges, including a state Supreme Court justice and a state court of appeals judge, the first appellate appointments in the state in more than a decade."

There's a lot more info and it could be a lot worse.
