I believe it is best to nominate someone who has experience inside the Beltway. The three conservatives(Rehnquist,Scalia and Thomas) all worked for a considerable period in Washington and thus understood its allures. The other current Republican Justices (Kennedy, O'Connor, Souter and Stevens) had no Washington experience and were appointed from outside the Beltway. They were more susceptible to being courted and reading in the Washington Post how enlightened they were or how much they had grown in office. At least, that is my theory. (BTW, I understand that Thomas does not even read the newspapers in order to escape insofar as is possible their influence.)
