According to an MSNBC news program, one blog predicted Judge Alito would be the next nominee for the nation’s highest court.<\/p>\n
The blog is scotusblog.com<\/a><\/p>\n While that was impressive, the blog, composed mainly by people from the law firm of Goldstein & Howe, also foretold that John Roberts would be nominated. One of them wrote “More likely, I think, is Judge John Roberts of the D.C. Circuit, who was only confirmed to that court last year.”<\/a> This was written on November 7th, 2004. Justice Roberts was actually nominated on July 19th, 2005<\/a>.<\/p>\n Another of the bloggers, Marty Lederman, said last Friday — before his latest prediction came true — “permit me to sheepishly add that I, too, predicted a Roberts nomination back in November (in a comment to Tom\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s post, which apparently no longer exists online), and again in May.”<\/p>\n This particular blogger then goes on to say that his predictions seldom are correct.<\/p>\n
