The Changing of the Guard

An American hero has passed, and I am deeply saddened by his passing. William Rehnquist was a fine man who honored the court with his presence. I can only hope that we can find someone big enough to fill his shoes.

I think Clarence Thomas would be a fine fit for those shoes.

Scalia is the obvious choice, but he's not quite as clear on Constitutional jurisprudence as Thomas. Scalia has, from time to time, exhibited an ability to legislate from the bench. To my knowledge, Thomas has not. Giving Thomas that responsibility would honor his intellect, his knowledge, and his commitment to strict constructionism.

The new nominee for the Supreme Court should be as close to Clarence Thomas as possible. Calm, cool, collected, and a voice for what is good and right.
