But again, I really don't have any more to go on than anyone else. He definitely seems like much of an unknown politically despite having extensive experience. He seems undoubtably qualified. How he will rule is up in the air. Though I suppose we should be appointing people based on their qualifications and not ideological litmus tests. So perhaps he is a good nominee precisely because we don't know how he'd rule. He seems to be more moderate and open-minded than Scalia.

That's not a very open-minded statement to make. I don't know any more about him than what Alex has posted, but I see nothing there to say he's a threat to youth.

He appears to be in the Scalia mold, only a bit less vocal about it. Maybe comparable to Thomas. Well, Republican Senator Specter suggested Bush pick a more moderate justice. Oh well.
