I recall seeing on the news that usually when the Chief Justice position becomes available, rarely does the job go to an already sitting justice. I believe most Presidents go out of their way to nominate a new, YOUNGER, candidate who will be able to set the tone and lead the court for a long time.

Good point. But Clarence Thomas is only 57, which is why folx thought he would get the nod.
