I don't think the Democrats could afford to filibuster any current justice's nomination for Chief.  The fact that they are on the Court already is sufficient, in the minds of most Americans, to qualify a justice to be Chief.  If the Dems filibuster Scalia, people won't understand what the big deal is--he's been on the Court for many years now.  The Dems might have a better chance at stopping Thomas, but the racial issue is very dangerous.  I don't think they would risk it.

I don't think Thomas would make a very good chief justice. He's just not the type... I mean, one of the main things the chief justice does is write opinions.
Agreed.  My number one choice is Scalia.
