Obama for Scotus!

Update: I think Rosen means “high boiling point” here right?

Obama’s academic credentials for the court — including serving as president of the Harvard Law Review and as a constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago — are obvious. But it’s his even temperament and low boiling point that seem tailor-made for the court at this polarized moment. Obama’s patient courtship of the vain and wavering swing votes in the Senate (such as Joe Lieberman) during the health-care debate, for example, is ideal preparation for courting the vain and wavering swing vote on the court (Justice Anthony Kennedy). And Obama’s detached and judicious disposition would equip him to challenge the conservative hothead, Scalia, without descending to his name-calling.

Having a low boiling point means you get angry easily, right?

Less nit-picky comments to come.
