Kos said he'd make an announcement between 10 and 11 today, and its past that now by an hour. Perhaps at some point he'll announce.

Why the hell would you turn to Kos for anything, especially information on the plans of a conservative justice?

I do think Scalia is a lot better than he's made out to be. F'r instance, his dissent on Hamdi was excellent (and O'Connor's opinion was ****ty). So I wouldn't really mind someone like him. Of the names bandied around, I'd say that John Roberts sounds the least objectionable.Out of interest what conservative would you be able to hold your nose long enough to endorse? (This question can go to Boris as well) Personally, I'm hoping for a justice in the model of Scalia."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

Cause that's who Boris mentioned that started this whole thead. I did my own research though (which you'd find if you followed the link to my blog) and the Washington Post did an article on it, and apparently Robert Novak also said yesterday that Rehenquist would be out by the end of this week.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

I'm not so sure on Scalia anymore. Especially after ruling for the federal government in the medical marijuana case recently that cut quite squarely against his track record of state's rights support. This wasn't really an issue about drugs, but an issue of state's rights and he favored the federal government, and even quoted the Commerce Clause to support his case.Originally posted by Ramo

Thomas called him out almost by name with a scathing dissent in that case.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

Regardless of the particular person, I prefer the principle of innocent until proven guilty, rather than the converse.
And again, the pro-choice majority in PP v. Casey stands even without O'Connor (as long as Kennedy doesn't switch sides) due to Ginsburg's appointment, replacing White.
The critical area that the Senate Democrats need to defend is criminal justice.Last edited by Ramo; July 8, 2005, 12:49."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

True, that was a crappy decison, but Thomas still gets on my nerves much more than Scalia. As in the Hamdi case, for instance.

Doubtful if only for practical reasons. No matter how desireable it might be. There are a few cases I'd like to see reversed first anyway.Originally posted by chegitz guevara

Interestingly enough, O'connor's resignation was reported on Kos more than an hour before Drudge had anything, and well before any mainstream news outlet had anything.Originally posted by Drake Tungsten
