Would be kinda funny that Dubya would have appoint African American or Hispanic to Chief Justice
Can you imagine I like see Demos react to that try turn down first African American or Hispanic judges as Chief Justice
I'd love to see Thomas as chief, but I don't think Thomas would want it.
He was a just judge, hopefully he was at peace when he died.
It will be hard to find a worthy replacement. He will be remembered by many.
I hate to do this tonight, when he just passed, but I'm hoping Thomas to CJ, and Justice Janice Rogers Brown, or Estrada as the next SC nominee.
I can't believe on Fox, Estrich was just on and inserted politics already. She said the President is weakened by Katrina, and will have to compromise. She used her platform to blame the President for the hurricane! She was there to talk about Rehnquist, not the hurricane.
I hope the President doesn't give in to the democrats, and especially not McCain, when McCain lofted the loony idea of putting Sandra Day O'Connor as Chief Justice, in order to keep the vacancy at only 1.
But tonight is the time to remember the Chief Justice, and pray for him and his family. He served the country well.
