Antonin Scalia as CJ? A wonderful idea!

Name: Antonin Scalia
Birth Date: March 11, 1936
Place of Birth: Trenton, New Jersey, United States
Nationality: American
Gender: Male
Occupations: supreme court justice

Name: Clarence Thomas
Birth Date: June 23, 1948
Place of Birth: Pin Point, Georgia, United States
Nationality: American
Ethnicity: African American
Gender: Male
Occupations: politician, supreme court justice

Scalia will turn 69 next spring while Thomas will be 57. Wonder why Reid wants Scalia instead? If Thomas were elevated to Chief Justice, he would probably serve a quarter century as Chief Justice.

Thomas is supported by black lobbies, while Scalia not! This is a first reason to appoint Scalia. Besides, Thomas has a not very clear personal past. The debate about the Thomas nomination polarized both Washington and much of the country, for the Anita Hill case, and we actually don't know much about his personal faith (he divorced too).
Antonin Scalia is very intelligent and very opinionated, a combination that soothes those who agree with his views and which is troublesome to those who disagree with his views; an intellectual goal that Thomas will never achieve. Sen. Reed is right when he say that Thomas is not an incisive writer of opinions.

The biggest stories of the next two years will be related to judgeships - both USSC and other Federal posts.

It is going to be interesting to see if the Old Media FRAUDcasters have gotten the message and decide to play it fair, or if they will accelerate their plummet to the depths of obscurity.

The Demodogs will give them every opportunity to do so... will they rise to that bait?
