Bush has publicly signaled his admiration for Scalia on many occasions, while running for president and since.
I would bet my house that if Rehnquist retires, Scalia will get the nod from Bush. It's a no-brainer.

I wouldn't be surprised if he did elevate Scalia, but by the same token I'd not be surprised if he didn't.

I personally have always favored the elevation of Scalia...he is a truly great man.
But I have heard arguments in favor of Justice Thomas getting the nod, simply because he is much younger than Scalia, and would be CJ for much longer.
The idea kinda grows on a guy, especially when you muse about how crazy that appointment would make the RATS! ;-)
