Reply #12: "Friends with Thomas" is certainly a potential concern.

"Appointed by Zell Miller" is another.

I don't know what to think about appointing someone who has already stepped down from a supreme court position. We can't afford to have her do that during a Republican administration (and hand Stevens' seat over to an even better friend of Thomas).

(On edit - She reportedly stepped down last year... which means that she didn't mind Sonny perdue replacing her on the bench. I think that's strike three unless there's more compelling information about her.)

I think that the intention of the OP is to garner information that goes beyond these first-blush assessments.
