The Washingtonian says Clarence Thomas is the leading candidate to replace Rhenquist as Chief Justice. I can't say I predicted it - but I did advise it, here. The Washingtonian also thinks Orrin Hatch is a real contender to be nominated to the Court. I'm not convinced this makes political sense in terms of currying favor with voters, though it would make Senate confirmation a breeze. As for how he'll vote: I boldly predict that he'll be exactly as innovative and dramatic a Justice as would a Justice Gonzales. |
