Dan3 Re: <Bush has said that one of the two Supreme Court Justices he most admires...>

Interesting *TWIST* on what Bush said.

What the Centinal News said Bush said was "Although he has said the two Supreme Court justices he most admires are the court's most conservative voices, President Ronald Reagan appointee Antonin Scalia and his father's controversial appointee Clarence Thomas, Bush has said he will not make abortion a judicial litmus test."

What you said was <Whatever your opinion of Thomas's political views, he is not generally considered a shining light of clear thinking.>

I've not read on Judge Thomas's dissentions. If you have a source, I would spend time reading the source you provide.

On the other hand, I *DOUBT* that there is a whole lot(Defined as overall > 5%) difference in opinion between Justices Scalia and Thomas on major issues.

And I doubt you'll find very many intellectually sound critics of the *CLARITY* Justice Scalia's thinking. You will find differences of opinion, but the clarity is as a laser of precision.

And I'd say that *IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR DIMEST BULBS ON THE SUPREME COURT* -- You're not going to take a second glance at Thomas.
