Dear Cold Heat,
Actually, Justice Scalia is more of a strict constructionist than Justice Thomas. Justice Scalia believes that the proper way to interpret the Constitution is by looking at the text of the document itself, and to a limited degree, what men meant by the words at the time they were written.
Justice Thomas, however, interprets the Constitution according to a natural law philosophy. He believes the underlying philosophical premise of the Constitution is tied up in natural law and natural rights.
Since the Founders largely believed in natural law and natural rights, Justices Thomas and Scalia often agree with one another. However, there are some subtle differences.
But, you appear to speak somewhat approvingly of these Justices. Do you approve of them? Would you mind if we had three or four more?
If we did, Roe would not survive.
By the way, as for borking, it is ironic that you, of all people, should mention that on this thread, of all threads, as it has largely been about whether or not Mr. Specter should become chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
It is Mr. Specter who borked Judge Bork.
That is an excellent reason why he ought to be prevented from ascending to the chairmanship.

Scalia is good, but Thomas is totally consistant. Thomas is more like Bork than Bork is.
