We appear to have cross-posted, Rabbi Sol. I pose my question again...

You only pose two possible answers, neither of them having any integrity, Rabbi Sol. You do not postulate the possibility that Justice Thomas would rule according to what he believes would be Constitutional. Is there some reason for this? Would you have posed the question the same way if we were discussing Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and the candidate in question as Lieberman as the vice presidential nominee?
