Fred Thompson is supposed to help the upcoming SC nominee through the process:
GLENEAGLES, Scotland -- President Bush has named former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson to help shepherd his yet-to-be named Supreme Court nominee through the Senate, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Wednesday.
Thompson, a Republican and actor on the NBC television series "Law & Order," agreed to accept the post in a telephone conversation with the president on Monday, McClellan said.
He said Thompson would serve as an informal adviser to shepherd the nomination through the Senate.
"Senator Thompson will guide the nominee through the confirmation process," McClellan said.
Personally, I wouldn't mind it if he were the nominee.
