| Would Scalia or Thomas get confirmed today? |
|
My dad asked if I'd oppose either one today. Saying "Roberts isn't as conservative as either one, so how can he be extreme?"
THoughts?

| 1. We have no information as to whether or not Roberts is |

as conservative as either of those two. The hearings haven't started yet, we just have the word of a bunch of right-wing pundits who want the guy confirmed.

| 3. Thomas was confirmed 52-48 by a Senate |

that had a Dem majority of D-55, R-45.
Scalia was confirmed 98-0 by a Senate that had a Rep majority of R-53, D-47.
Currently, the Senate has a Rep majority of R-55, D-44, I-1.
Does that help to answer the question?

Guess we've just answered that question. :D
Anyway, I've corrected the mistake. It was D-55, R-45.

How Scalia would do. But I think Thomas would get confirmed on an almost strictly party line vote.
