I think that three of the nine Nazgul are not Nazgul, though one is very ill.

Scalia, Thomas, and Renquist; I do not see as "Nazgul"

In the sense of 'evil', No. Along for the ride, yes. Rehnquist came on the Court just before I started law school. A great jurist? Yes. A great Chief Justice, I think, regrettably, no. Rehnquist has failed to put his imprimatur on the Court he has led for so long, and the fact you have so many 5-4, 6-3 decisions, with his side losing too many is proof of that.
Scalia is brilliant, and also because he's so acerbic, and does not suffer fools gladly, i.e many of his fellow justices, is marginalized. Scalia will always write brilliant, well reasoned opinions. He will also write, almost invariably, minority opinions. Justice Thomas is a solid justice with more people skills than Scalia. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be able to dominate or bring around the idiot six.
