I know what you mean, Olson was superb during the 2000 election/attempted theft fiasco. I thought then that he would make an excellent SCJ.

Now, in spite of his ability, it needs to be said that it won't happen. He's in his mid 60's. Rule of thumb is that a president wants at least 20 years out of an appointment. Doesn't always happen but I'll bet W doesn't nominate anyone under 55.

Then he damn well better not nominate Scalia for CJ.
