Obama Interviews Appellate Judge Wood
From this morning's Earlybird:
• President Obama "interviewed federal judge Diane Wood of Chicago on Tuesday for an opening on the Supreme Court, the fourth candidate known to have had face-to-face talks with the president, a person familiar with the conversation told" the AP.
• Obama "is summoning two Senate Judiciary Republicans to the White House" this morning "to discuss the Supreme Court nomination process," Roll Call (subscription) reports. "The president will meet separately with" Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona and Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah "in closed meetings to talk about where things stand in his process of selecting a nominee to replace retiring Justice John Paul Stevens."
