I had read that Scalia would resign if he didn't get chief justice. I think this is a slap in the face to both he and Thomas.

They are big boys. They can pout some other time. They most likely were never going to be chosen based upon historical precedent where only three [3] sitting AJs have been elevated to the CJ position.

I would not be upset by a Scalia resignation.

We can not assume that we will have conservative Presidents elected as far as the eye can see.

The more young conservatives on the Supreme Court, the better.

Anyone who wants to retire (whether a conservative or a liberal justice) while Bush can pick their replacement has my support.
