"Scalia or Thomas?"

Actually I was thinking more of Scalia. Thomas is ok in some ways, but some of his decisions lately have not apeared to conservative to me. He seems wishy washy. Reading the opinion of Scalia in the sodomy case was a fresh of breath air. It was not just and opinion on the case. It was a fight for the preservation of the constituion itself. The way it should be.

I very much agree with you on Scalia. Very bright, very articulate man, and very conservative.

One thing about Clarence Thomas is that he has great respect for the Constitution and the oath he took to abide by it. He said that there have been quite a few times when his own personal opinions, values, and preferences disagreed with his interpretation of the Constitution and in these cases he had no choice but to abide by the Constitution. I can't ask for anymore than that from a judge.

The other 6 liberal justices, on the other hand, think that they know what is good for the country and I always get the feeling that their votes are based on their personal agendas rather than the interpretation of the Constitution.
