He did get himself kicked off the GRPL swarm so he has that going for him if he wants the SC spot.
That's true. But I thought he resigned. Getting kicked off is worth at least 10 SC nomination points but resigning is probably only worth 5. He'll need more penance than that to convince me of his worthiness. But you can be cured of Law School. Scalia and Thomas are both prime examples of how an Ivy League legal education is not completely debilitating.
A subtle but important difference.
