Mitchell emerges as strong contender for court position
The White House and The New York Times report President Clinton weighs a Blackmun successor after his planned September departure. Mitchell, 60 from Maine and a former congressman, is viewed as the leading candidate to fill the vacancy, with Contana and Drew Days also discussed. Clinton aims for a “safe” choice while weighing political costs with health care priorities.

Supreme Court seeks cautious path with new appointee
Replacement likely won’t shift the nine member bench soon as Clinton era signals show new justices struggle to wield power beyond votes. Ginsburg’s tenure early, Mitchell Babbitt and others floated for nomination, while Scalia’s conservative lane keeps the court split on abortion affirmative action church state ties. The court, aging Brennan’s rule of five votes, remains wary of headline battles, deferring to elected officials when possible.
