is the most principled originalist on the Supreme Court (via Instapundit). With the talk of Rehnquists' eventual retirement, I had favored Scalia for Chief Justice, primarily because I knew a lot about him and knew him to be an extremely witty originalist. However, he sacrifices his principles in this case and the dissenting Thomas does not. When Rehnquist retires, Pres. Bush should nominate Clarence Thomas to be Chief Justice.
Update: Even Kos agrees with this analysis (well, except for the whole elevate Thomas to Chief part, I'm sure). I'm sad to say, Scalia certainly does look like a partisan hack on this issue - although I'll have to read his opinion to make that statement with certainty.
