Remember how they tried to make a scandal of his association with
Dick Cheney, it was just a group of guys on a fishing trip.
I don't think they would be so ready to attack Thomas, since he has
kinda flown under the radar for most of his years on the Court.
Also, his age is a factor. I believe he is only 59, which means that
we would have a good conservative Chief Justice for many years
to come. I'm not sure, but I think Scalia is 70.
I think President Bush is looking to the future, and wants to ensure
that the court will have strict constructionist, conservative direction
going forward. Long after his presidency is over. |
I agree with most of what you say. Thomas has been under the radar alright. He hardly ever says anything but does write good opinions.
But...no matter who Bush nominates, there will be a firestorm.

| I agree with most of what is said here, I just think Scalia might be a better choice. |
