The AP reported today that Judge Sidney Thomas had been personally interviewed this Thursday by President Obama and Vice President Biden. The AP speculates that the personal time Obama has devoted to Judge Thomas indicates that he is under a higher level of consideration for the United States Supreme Court by the president than other potential nominees. As discussed in earlier posts on this blog, Judge Thomas sits on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, lives in Billings, Montana, and graduated from Montana State University and The University of Montana School of Law.
