Even before the second Bush term starts, it seems guaranteed that sometime early in that term (or perhaps sooner) we will be faced with one of the ultimate polarizing issues -- who should be the next Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?
Accepting the fact that George Bush is a Republican who was just reelected based in large part by votes of social conservatives, I still think that Scalia or Thomas are not realistic choices. In my view, his best choice might be to elevate Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy, a moderate conservative. Obviously, Bush would also have to nominate someone to replace Kennedy and I could go on at length about this topic, but I will stop here and we can hash it out in the comments (to the extent people are interested).
