“How Appealing” readers guess who will be the next Solicitor General of the United States if Donald B. Verrilli, Jr. becomes the next Attorney General: Thanks to all of the readers who took the time to email their best guesses. I have to admit that there aren’t many surprises on this list, which may make it a good starting point for the Obama administration if the need for a new SG were to arise sometime soon.
Reader guesses, in no particular order, are:
Ian Gershengorn (currently the Principal Deputy Solicitor General);
Beth Brinkmann (currently the Deputy Assistant Attorney General);
law professor Pam Karlan (on leave from Stanford, currently the Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights);
Deanne Maynard;
David Frederick;
Kathleen Sullivan;
Paul M. Smith;
Edwin Kneedler;
Neal Katyal (perhaps this time actually confirmed by the U.S. Senate); and
Lisa Blatt.
Thanks to those readers who took the time to offer their best guesses. We shall soon see whether this speculation becomes more relevant.
