Now that chief Rightwing ideologue Antonin Scalia has gone onto the "dark side," what will happen to the other vacuous rightwing copycat Clarence Thomas? After all, without his mental mentor to coach him on every high court decision, the intellectual bantam weight Clarence may have a hard time writing his own opinions on future court decisions. Will he recuse himself on every occasion on account of incapacity?

On the other hand, this may be the perfect opportunity for the Rightwing GOP to pressure POTUS Obama to nominate another fundamentalist conservative judge to succeed the rabidly contentious Antonin. With the GOP holding a solid majority in the Senate, thus dictating the confirmation process of any Supreme Court nominee, the pressure is on Obama to name a new justice who holds similar distasteful revanchist ideas as the passed Scalia. Will POTUS 44 succumb to this Rightwing pressure, or will he try to improve his legacy as the presumed "progressive" that his supporters claim him to be in his heart?
