I Am Starting To Like My Senator Part 5

Over at red state they are wondering if Sen. Jon Cornyn may be one of Bush's nominees to the Supreme Court. Jim Geraghty concurs that

if Cornyn became a Supreme Court Justice, that would leave a Senate seat to which Texas Gov. Rick Perry could appoint Republican Congressman Henry Bonilla.
As much as I like what Cornyn has done in the Senate so far in his very short time there, I think he would be a good choice for the Supreme Court and is obviously qualified. Bonilla had said a while back that he would run for the senate if Kay Bailey Hutchinson had decided to run for governor of Texas against Perry, but Hutchinson decided to stay in the senate instead. This might be Bonilla's best chance at becoming a senator for a long time.
