1. Bush's choice, I think
Calvin Coolidge was sworn in by his father, who was a Justice of the Peace, when Harding died. Later, a SC judge repeated the oath, but most folks at the time felt that Coolidge was inaugerated correctly the first time.

3. Maybe he should get Asscroft to do it.
since his fear-mongering, secrecy, cheating, and moralizing are an epitome or encapsulation of why Bush won.

2. Chief Justice Antonin Scalia
and Associate Justice John Ashcroft in the new Taliban Amurikkka

Stevens, Ginsburg, and the other progressives will be kicked out somehow

4. Probably W's choice
Any federal judge could do it. Remember Judge Sarah T. Hughes swearing in LBJ on Airforce 1? Still the only president sworn in by a woman judge? I'm betting on Clarence Thomas, because W would want to make a splash.
