In case anyone hasn't heard by now: The President plans to announce his nominee to the Supreme Court tonight.

Rumor has it that the nominee will be Edith Brown Clement, chief judge on the federal circuit court for Louisianna....

Does she have any kind of a record on open source/culture issues?

Also, doesnt Louisianna differ greatly from most common law as an offshoot of French law? I remember reading something about that years ago.

Any light someone can shed on these issues would be much appreciated.

Thanks

She sits on the federal bench -- the source of Louisiana state law shouldn't have any impact on that court.

yes, im aware that she is a federal judge... but her background in law school and in private practice is based in Louisiana. Specifically in maritime law from what Ive read about her.

Doesnt a background in LA and Maritime law represent a very obscure nitche to pull a nominee from?
