Watford for SCOTUS?

If their logo is a Moose,

SCOUTS Short-Lister Watford Praised by Both Sides is a Bloomberg BNA article today about how "Judge Paul J. Watford, only the second black judge at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, might get another chance at being nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court." The article asks is he "In Tune With SCOTUS?" and notes that "Two recent Supreme Court decisions — written by Justices Clarence Thomas and Sonia Sotomayor, commonly considered ideological opposites — agreed with opinions by Watford."
Would SCAN like to see a SoCal SCOTUS Justice? What a silly question. (See Golden Opportunity: A Fifth California Justice (2016) 29:1 Cal. Litigation 3.)
