From this morning's Earlybird:

• "The White House says President Obama won't announce a Supreme Court nominee this week," AP reports. "That pushes the timeline for Obama to announce his choice to succeed Justice John Paul Stevens into May."

• "Senator Dianne Feinstein has some advice for" Obama "about his next Supreme Court nominee: Don't pick a fight," Bloomberg News reports. "'There are people that one can appoint that are respected by both sides,' said Feinstein, a California Democrat and member of the Judiciary Committee, which will hold confirmation hearings. 'That's what I think he ought to look for.'"

• The Wall Street Journal reports on how Solicitor General Elena Kagan's time as Dean of Harvard Law School could help her win GOP support if she is nominated.
