Remember that the general perception of Thomas was also that he was a lightweight. Scalia's fine as far as it goes, but he's no Paul Erdõs. Speaking of Scalia, some interesting comments.

He did not defend Miers. He gave a broad defense of the notion that a non-jurist is competent to serve on the Supreme Court.
That being said, I have already stated-several times prior to and subsequent to the posting of that article-that Scalia would not agitate against this nominee.
In fact, I would lose respect for him if he chose to do so.
