I'm not sure how you can compare Thomas and Souter on swinging. Who are you using as the anti-Scalia? Ginsberg? Are you saying that Thomas votes differently than Scalia less often than Souter votes differently than Ginsberg?

It's bad reporting in an article you provided, but that's not important. Until it's in front of him, we won't know, so it's moot.
