A tantalizing prospect...
This article suggests that Clarence Thomas is a possibility for the next Chief Justice. I can't think of a better choice. He's a great man and a top-notch jurist.
AND, for a bonus, the torment of the collectivists would be indescribable. As I wrote once before (9/13/02):
...The endless scurrility and abuse heaped on a great man named Clarence Thomas is one of the disgraces of our country and our time.The possibility of Thomas as Chief actually comes from a book, Judging Thomas. It looks intriguing, I'll be reading it soon. And that line: "I define 'liberal' as someone interested in justice" was written by a leftyblogger back then, as the starting point of an argument or debate about liberals/conservatives. Unbelievable. It still seems unbelievable. Those guys need to taste defeat, if only for the good of their souls. Posted by John Weidner at August 7, 2004 3:24 PMLeftizoids derive much of their supposed legitimacy from the Civil Rights Movement, and much of their bullying power from leftist judges. For a black person to not only be a conservative, but also a Supreme Court Justice, hits them in their tenderest spots. I suspect that most leftists think there is nothing wrong with slandering Thomas; that they are capable of inventing some ugly lie or distortion, and then with a clear "conscience" saying, "I define 'liberal' as someone interested in justice."...
