| YO! Bush Considers Clarence Thomas For Chief Justice! |
| 2004-11-07 |
| Well it looks like Canada will be getting a lot more malcontents :) President Bush has launched an internal review of the pros and cons of nominating Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as the chief justice if ailing William Rehnquist retires, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. A top White House source familiar with Bush's thinking explains the review of Thomas as chief justice is one of several options currently under serious consideration. But Thomas is Bush's personal favorite to take the position, the source claims. "It would not only be historic, to nominate a minority as chief justice, symbolizing the president's strong belief in hope and optimism, but it would be a sound judicial move.... Justice Thomas simply has an extraordinary record." One concern is the amount of political capital Bush would have to spend in congress to make the move. A chief justice must be separately nominated by Bush and confirmed by the Senate, even if the person is already sitting on the court. The need to replace Rehnquist could arise by year's end, Bush aides now believe. Officially, Bush advisers call any Supreme Court vacancy talk premature. Developing... Ottowa should really think twice about allowing in additional American leftwing losers. Don't they have enough nuts already? Chief Justice Tomas -What a great sound that has!! After the living hell the radical left put this man through before, how sweet it is! |

| #4 What Barbara said, Thomas would be an exceptional chief justice. :) Alberto Gonzales has been at the top of the rumored list of S.Ct. appointees for a while. Imagine what would happen if Rehnquist were to retire and the Dems were put in the position of opposing not only the court's first black chief justice but also the court's first Hispanic member. That would be a politically painful twofer. |
