Fortune favors the Bold.
The President's poll numbers are abysmal. The New Orleans self-destruction has levelled him. Ergo he has no political capital to put behind a strong originalist nomination to replace Chief Justice Rehnquist.
To hell with it. As my old Captain in Korea once said "Sometimes you just have to grab your junk and go for it." Nominate Richard Posner. Nominate Robert Bork. These appointments come up rarely. It is time to to put the checks and balances back into the courts, so that the people actually write the laws. We need gutsy judges who believe that laws mean what they say, not that they mean what the judges believe they should mean.
Scalia for Chief Justice!!
