Do you think Clarence Thomas ever wishes he weren't Antonin Scalia's lackey on the Supreme Court? Do you think he might want someone else to push around, someone who will follow his lead every time, decision for decision, vote for vote?

We may be in luck. Texas Senator John Cornyn, head of the "me too" generation of Republican politicians, may be headed for the Supreme Court.

Cornyn: Yeah!
