ABC News: Not Clement for Supreme Court

If ABC News is right, the Clement bets at TradeSports are losers. ABC reports that a source close to Judge Clement (probably a law clerk) said she received a call from the White House thanking her for playing, but that the President is going to go in a different direction.

If so, expect the President to try to bang through a more "difficult nominee to confirm" such as Priscilla Owen, Edith Jones, Garza or a strict constructionist from a major state highest court (Owen fits this bill because she just accepted the Fifth Circuit post, so does Janice Rogers Brown).
