So far, the cases I've read that he has argued definately puts him closer to Renquist. However, I was hoping for another Thomas. I'll take what I can get on other issues as long as the guy is solid on "shall not be infringed".
I think it is well-known he is not going to be a Thomas or Scalia, but will be a more moderate conservative like Rehnquist. But, he will be conservative and will give us more victories.
Provided we can get Kennedy on board or somebody.
Even with him, we still would not have a conservative majority.
