Like Clarence Thomas, the guy who wrote a detailed review of the history of anonymous speech in the defense of the right to anonymous political pamphletting?

Like Antonin Scalia, who joined with Stevens in writing the only opinion offered in the Hamdi case which was a complete rebuke of the government's position that it can hold citizens without trial and the courts position that it can create a "guilty until proven innocent" standard out of thin air?

That doesn't sound like Thomas or Scalia to me.

Frankly, I hope we get people like Thomas or Scalia. That will be fine. I'm worried we'll get something much, much different.
