I thought back in 2005 that Scalia should have been nomiated for Chief Justice when Rehnquist died. He certainly has the intellect for the job.

Agreed! Roberts is not my favorite justice. Thomas and Scalia both at least appear they care about law over policy making.

That isn’t how it works. The justice that replaces the Chief Justice becomes the Chief Justice. 😉

I, too, think Scalia should be CJ, if the system was different.😃

No, that isn’t a requirement. The Chief Justice can be nominated from among the others already confirmed but whoever is nominated has to be confirmed in that position by the Senate even if he is already on the Court. This is probably why Roberts was made Chief Justice since it eliminated the need for a second confirmation battle in the Senate.
