I hadn't thought of this possibility and now that you bring it up I think it makes perfect sense.
Regardless of how he voted the issue would have ended up the same.
He is indeed very crafty, and has also always been my favorite.
A true patriot and brilliant justice. Your take on the matter, which upon reflection, is spot on, imho, only reinforces this for me.
I really hope he is made the Chief Justice and that his associate justice position is filled by a black jewish female of similar leanings...just to make the democrats more and more irrelevant in the daily discourse of American Politics. They will fight tooth and nail no matter who Bush nominates (assuming a nomination is required) and the more rope the democrats are given to hang themselves the better.
Off to read Scalia's opinion only concurring with the decision of majority, and definately not agreeing with the majorities opinion.
