Thomas as Chief Justice?
From the mind of Matt Drudge
To be honest, I've only read one Supreme Court opinion that was penned by Justice Thomas. It was on state imposed term limits on Congressional representatives and it was actually quite good. But if the Bush Administration what's to enact a lasting legacy on the direction of the Court, it seems to me that the natural choice would be Justice Scalia. Scalia and Thomas are of like minds on Constitutional interpretation, but Scalia has been far, far more influential on moving the Court to the right. Perhaps that's why the rumor of Thomas.
Could it be that when faced with two conservative justices they are choosing to play the race card?
