The Hotline on Call blog reports on the possible timing of President Bush's new nomination to the Supreme Court.

And a White House official tells the Hotline that Bush will not nominate anyone today but would not rule out tomorrow.

What else is not happening today but might happen tomorrow? Per the AP's Pete Yost.

Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald huddled with his legal team Thursday as two key White House aides awaited their fate in the CIA leak probe.

A spokesman for the prosecutor said there would be no public announcements Thursday. The term of the grand jury that could bring indictments expires Friday.

Potential criminal charges against White House officials and a new Supreme Court nominee in the same day...

Would President Bush withdraw Harriet Miers simply to aid his effort to lessen the fallout from the possible indictment of administration officials in relation to the leaking of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity? No. But might he have timed the announcement of withdrawal and the subsequent announcement of a replacement strategically? That one's beyond my pay grade.

[Update 9:05 AM Pacific]: Chris Cillizza of The Washington Post's political blog The Fix reports along similar lines.

That coincidence of timing led Republican operatives to wonder whether White House insiders know something about the outcome of the leak investigation. "It wouldn't surprise me if the White House timed this to overshadow -- or at least compete with -- indictments today," said one high-level Republican consultant, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the delicateness of the matter. "Even if the indictments come tomorrow, it's still smart timing because it divides the chattering class, weekend talk show focus between the open Supreme Court seat and the indictments, rather than spending all Sunday morning on the indictments."
