The White House is considering Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval, a Republican centrist, as a potential nominee for the vacant seat on the Supreme Court, NBC News has confirmed.
Sandoval, a former District Court judge and state attorney general, was the first Latino candidate elected to statewide office in Nevada.
While he is a Republican, Sandoval’s record does match President Barack Obama’s on many key issues. He has said he supports the Supreme Court’s same sex marriage decision of last year and backs abortion rights.

Charlie Pierce suggests Anita Hill.
No, Anita Hill should replace Clarence Thomas when his seat is vacated.
Governor Sandoval is gone, but I can hardly wait for the d new flick on the Supreme Court.
