It's a solid choice for LAW and Constitutional thought processes. ANY of the four finalists would have been a good choice really but this one has been battle tested and has more experience.
WHAT you want in a Supreme is the ability to rise above politics and simply interpret LAW through the eyes of what the Founding Fathers wrote in Laws of the Land in Philadelphia's Constitutional Convention over which George Washington Presided as President of that convention and James MAdison was one of several key scholars who framed this greatest of all documents as to how our country and people shall be governed.
Looking forward to sanity and Constitutional application in decisions returning once again, whether we like them or not..
