Justice William H. Rehnquist

Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist hasn’t been on the court for six weeks, due to his ongoing treatments for thyroid cancer. There are speculations from all corners that soon the President will have to nominate a judge to take his place.

Two questions: 1) who would you nominate? 2) who would you have in the role of Chief Justice? One of the existing justices or the one who W nominates?

I’d promote Scalia to Chief Justice and nominate Sen. Specter as Associate Justice. Does that work for you, Zee?

Hmm . . . how about promoting Scalia, and nominating a moderate as associate? Maybe there would be less controversy that way.:idea:

Hiya Les – I wouldn’t mind Scalia being the Chief .. but Specter I’m not so sure about.

I have since discovered that Sen. Specter is 74. Never mind then.

Scalia should be chief, but the politics are going to make it tough. I would like to see Thomas as Chief also, but he doesn’t have the seniority. I don’t know who will fill the gap, but you can bet he will be of Spanish decent.

Les: I didn’t know that either – ah well. Any other possibilities?

Mark: Howdy amigo! Good to see you posting here. I Scalia would get the Chief slot but I’m intensely curious as to who would fill the other gap … as Les would say, hmm and hmm …
