Diane Wood
She appears to be the most liberal of the shortlisters and is applauded in progressive circles for going toe-to-toe with the conservative intellectual heavyweights on her court. For this reason, she might have the bumpiest confirmation.
Wood, 59, is highly respected for her intellectual firepower, careful preparation, and clear thinking and expression. She was won praise from some conservative as well as liberal colleagues and from lawyers appearing before her.
Before President Clinton put her on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in 1995, she was a University of Chicago law professor -- and working mother without benefit of pregnancy leave -- and a high-ranking antitrust expert in the Clinton Justice Department.
Some conservatives have assailed her as a hard-left judicial culture warrior whose passion for abortion rights is so strong that (they contend) she has disregarded Supreme Court precedents; and whose writings suggest that she might indeed strip "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance and make same-sex marriage a constitutional right.
Still, Wood's overall record may be no more liberal than that of Stevens. She would be confirmed eventually, but she would surely draw more Republican fire than would Kagan or Napolitano, and much more than Garland.
The retirement of Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens will give President Obama another chance to fill the high court vacancy. National Journal columnist Stuart Taylor Jr. gives four candidates he thinks are on the SCOTUS shortlist. The other three:
Elena Kagan
Merrick Garland
Janet Napolitano

Not really sure if it counts anymore if you are a democrat, liberal or republican... most of these politicians are not serving the people but their own interests.

That was a very good portfolio of Diane Wood and I agree that she has a tough contest ahead with some of her strong views!! I think she is very competent having been President Clinton’s candidate for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in 1975!! That being said, I totally agree to the comment about nobody caring if you are a democrat, liberal or republican as it is all one’s own interest that matters now!! diet program review

If I'm not mistaking she is a lawyer as well ? I think she got her criminal justice degree somewhere in Illinois but can't recall the University so don't quote me on that one.

I've been following the news on Diane Wood, and her teaching as well as her legal career, as part of a project for my masters public administration. I was very impressed that in the mezuzah case, in 2008 she championed the religious litigants’ side. Last year, she stood up for the right of owners to post religious symbols thus allowing Christians to post crucifixes.
