"I'm not even sure I wanted it, to tell you the truth," Scalia

Of Course he didn't.
Nino does not want to be the "Ambassador of Good Will" on the Court.

He want to continue being his big, beautiful, abrasive self and we are all the better for it!!

I think it's amazing that Antonin Scalia was approved by a vote of 98 to 0 in the Senate of 1986 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonin_Scalia

but yet David Souter, who is far to the left of Scalia had 9 Democrats voting against him in 1990:

and Clarence Thomas, the only Black on the Supreme Court, had one of the closest votes for approval in 1991 (52 to 48)
