Justice Clarence Thomas must be pissed at Obama
During that faith forum the other day, when Obama was asked who he wouldn't nominate for the supreme court, he said the following:

--on Justice Thomas - not a strong, legal thinker

--on Justice Scalia - intellectually brilliant

--on Justice Roberts - compelling and smart

He wouldn't nominate those three but you notice he still managed to compliment Scalia and Roberts but not Thomas.

LOL!

4. Sure Scalia is smart. So was Hitler
Ted Bundy was very bright as well. Could have been a brilliant lawyer if it wasn't for that whole "serial killer" thing.

3. He's right
Thomas is probably the worst legal mind on the bench right now. Scalia is crazy-smart to the point where his arguments are solid because his logic is so backwards it makes sense. Roberts, and to a lesser extent, Alito are both strong minds.
