It just might be. What surprised me was to hear Sen. Reid heap praise on Scalia for having a brilliant judicial mind. Reid did qualify his statement by saying that he often disagrees with Scalia, but that he has total respect for Scalia's writings.
He also went on to say how Clarence Thomas would be totally unaceptable because Thomas has been a less than brilliant Justice.
I don't have the text of the interview, but I think that many would be surprised to the degree with which Reid praised Scalia. And many would be surprised to the degree with which Reid trashed Thomas.
If Reid's behavior behind the scenes is consistent with his public statements, then I have total respect for him because he is classically liberal.
