"Here's a trial balloon that the White House seems to be floating.

It looks like the White House is considering only one sitting U.S. Supreme Court judge as a replacement for ailing Chief Justice William Rehnquist , who's expected to step down this summer. Insiders tell us that Justice Antonin Scalia , not Justice Clarence Thomas , is the one President Bush is most likely to tap. The thinking: How could the Senate reject a judge they OK'd for the court 98 to 0?

Oh, come on. Of course the Democrats could filibuster him. They'll think it's extraordinary to have a conservative nominated for Chief Justice and he'll have to be blocked. Hey, John Bolton had been approved for his position in the State Department. They didn't filibuster him there and yet they're doing it now. They don't need any stinking logic or precedent."
