White House weighs possible Supreme Court nomination of Gov. Sandoval: source

The source, who asked not to be identified, said Sandoval met on Monday in the U.S. Capitol with Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, at which time Reid asked the governor whether he would be interested in being considered for the high court job.

"He said he was interested," the source said, adding that "a number of people are being checked out" for the job.
