President Obama met with Senate leaders on Wednesday to discuss the Supreme Court vacancy, but that wasn't the only place the administration was seeking counsel. At least eight progressive groups, including the AFL-CIO, People for the American Way and the National Council of La Raza, also met with administration officials to discuss what they're looking for in a nominee. The White House would not confirm which groups were in attendance, but NationalJournal.com has learned that the list included:

• AFL-CIO
• Alliance for Justice
• Asian American Justice Center
• National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
• National Council of La Raza
• National Partnership of Women and Families
• National Women's Law Center
• People for the American Way

According to a White House official, the administration plans to "meet with senators on both sides of the aisle and a diverse array of organizations not limited to the left or the right." But the staffer declined to comment on any specific plans to hold a similar meeting with right-leaning groups.

A spokesperson for CRC Public Relations, a firm representing groups such as Americans United for Life and the Judicial Confirmation Network, said she was unaware of any outreach so far from the administration. And Leonard Leo, executive vice president of the Federalist Society, said that his organization has not been contacted by the White House and that he was unaware Wednesday's meeting had taken place.
