President Could Appoint Non-Judge To High Court

WASHINGTON -- President Bush said Wednesday he would consider nominating someone with no experience as a judge to the Supreme Court.

He also told reporters the White House is considering "all kinds of people" to succeed retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. That includes judges and non-judges.

Bush also said he is open to picking a woman, something first lady Laura Bush said she hoped he would do.

The president refused to put a timetable on his decision. He said he plans to interview potential nominees, but wouldn't say when that might begin, adding that even if he knew who the nominees might be, he probably would not say so publicly.
