Memo to E.J. -- the right wing elected George W. Bush, and that means we want Scalia's worldview imposed on everybody.

Personally, I'd prefer Clarence Thomas's worldview. Thanks.

Majority wins and majority rules!

Actually, no. We do have rights that trump even majority rules.

That's a BIG +1. I was personally hoping for Janice Rogers Brown, as she seems to be Clarence Thomas with, uh ... err, make that a female Clarence Thomas.

It is especially heartwarming to see a fellow libertarian-oriented Jew, as so many of our co-religionists have joined the Dark Side (Feinstein, Schumer, et al are only the pond scum that have floated to the top of that cesspool).

If she had been confirmed, when she first was nominated, yes. But it's too soon after her confirmation for her to be nominated to the Supreme Court.

The next time, however.... Well, put it this way, I expect Rehnquist will resign before the end of Bush's term. How does Chief Justice Janice Rogers Brown grab you?
