Are you really and truly trying to state that Scalia is NOT acknowledged as the leader of the conservatives on the court? Because if you are, then you've proven that you are pulling this stuff directly from your ass.
Let's see. Scalia is the conservative intellectual. He consistently votes conservatively. Thomas votes with Scalia 94% of the time. What does that make Thomas? Right, in your book, he's a swing vote. Explain that one, Will. Especially since I've already shown you actual voting numbers on how Thomas votes. Conservative. Not swing. Conservative.
There is NO Republican or Democrat on the court. There can't be. There IS liberal and conservative, and those causes may be pet ones of either party. The court reaches far beyond party lines, Will.
