Thomas not nominated!

I just noticed that I was the only blogger in America who hadn't posted on the Supreme Court today, and I just had to say something. 

So I thought I would note today's big surprise which hardly anyone has remarked:  No Thomas nomination! The judge discusses how he's taking the news.  Well, at least the media will not have to learn where Montana is.

So Act 1 of the play, in which the president pretends to consider diverse (i.e., non-Harvard/Yale) candidates, is over. Now we move to Act 2, in which the Senate pretends to consider the merits of the Kagan appointment.  This should consume much of the WGDB's summer. 

Wake me when it's over.

Why is Kagan's nomination not a surprise to you? Everyone seems to be really concerned with her lack of a visible track record in terms of political views.
