Bush to announce court choice
Speculation centers on female judge from Louisiana


WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush has decided whom to nominate to succeed Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court and was poised to announce his pick in a prime-time Tuesday night address.

White House press secretary Scott McClellan said the Bush administration was asking television outlets to broadcast the speech live. Bush's spokesman would not identify the president's choice.
But there was intense speculation that it would be Judge Edith Clement of the U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans.


The televised speech was scheduled for 9 p.m. ET.
