I think you are right about Brown and Olson, but I think it will be Scalia who is elevated to Chief Justice.

"I think you are right about Brown and Olson, but I think it will be Scalia who is elevated to Chief Justice."

In terms of the right people being named, they are interchangeable. Same goes for the other two names: I didn't mean to be playing "crystal ball" here--I'm talking about the kinds of jurists I hope to see.

While I agree that Scalia should be elevated to Chief Justice, I don't think it will happen. Thomas is much more likely, and the Democrats will have to walk a pretty thin tightrope if they mean to block the first nomination of a black Chief Justice.
