You heard it here second!
Because I said it here first. Thomas Sowell should be nominated for the open again Supreme Court position. There is no one I know of (I don't know enough about any of the major players for the position to say anything about them) that would perform better (ie follow the Constitution) than he would. He is an economist who is currently at the Hoover Institute (a think tank) in Stanford. He has an enormous paper trail that includes hundreds of articles, most of which are opinion articles freely available (so the general public could quickly and easily gain a sense of who he is, rather than let the media do the dirty work). He also has written against judicial activism, which should indicate he would definitely not be an activist judge. He knows the difference between beliefs and law. Probably the only downsides if he is nominated are that he has never been a judge or a lawyer (an unfortunate pseudo-requirement that politicians use for appointing judges) and that he is 70.
