Not only is Thomas qualified for his position, he's a hell of a lot more fit for the job than that joke Stevens.

That said, I expect Bush to appoint a new judge to that position.

I guess there's less than two weeks left for Rehnquist to make his decision about stepping down this term.

I was reading the other day:

Intriguingly, [Senator] Kennedy said that of the three oft-mentioned, younger appeals court judges who are candidates for the chief justice slot - J. Michael Luttig, John Roberts or Michael McConnell - one would be acceptable. "I'm not going to get into which one" because that would be "the kiss of death" for that person, he said.
