Here's the list of nominees, per the WH.  Among the odious are Peter Kiesler, profiled in this post, and Randy Smith of Idaho.  The latter, I believe was/is wingnut lobbyist for the extractive industries which make raping the Western environment a polite way of putting it.

Excerpted from the earlier post, "Kiesler must be blocked" (which you should read, in detail!):
Keisler is the archetypal stealth nominee.  No one, no f'g one, seems to be paying any attention to him.

Remember Bork?  Bork remembers Keisler, his former clerk.  About him, Bork says "he's one of my favorites".  He should.  Keisler helped shepherd Bork's nomination.  He's a Bork "acolyte."

And he helped shepherd nominations of Doug Ginsburg and Anthony Kennedy, too.  Kennedy gave him a clerkship.

His resume

1988 - 1989 The Honorable Anthony M. Kennedy, Supreme Court of the United States, Law Clerk

Law School Roommate of one founders of the Federalist Society, and a force in it.

But, he even has his own wiki page and, more importantly, his name on the wiki page "Bush Supreme Court candidates".

But, more important, he argued, and lost, Hamdan before the Supreme Court. His fingerprints are all over the Bush/Cheney Torture and Surveillance policies.  And first received his nomination to the D.C. Circuit Court two weeks after losing Hamdan.  Just coincidentally, maybe, the same time as his adversary, Lt. Cmdr. Swift, was receiving his walking papers.
