Trick or... well, not treat:
President Bush appears poised to announce a new Supreme Court nomination today, moving quickly after a weekend of consultations to put forward a replacement for the ill-fated choice of Harriet Miers in hopes of recapturing political momentum, according to Republicans close to the White House."

And the New York Times sums up:
"Republicans close to the selection process said over the weekend that as Mr. Bush neared a final decision, Judge Alito, of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, remained a leading candidate, along with Judge J. Michael Luttig of the Fourth Circuit, Judge Alice M. Batchelder of the Sixth Circuit, and Judge Priscilla R. Owen of the Fifth Circuit.
One outside adviser to the White House said on Sunday that a surprise was still possible. But prominent conservatives said all four have the kind of clear record and judicial credentials they are hoping for in a Supreme Court nominee, and liberal groups are girding for battle to oppose them."
Sounds like nuculer option time...
