Law.com - Could Scalia Be the Chief? Catholic University Columbus School of Law Dean Douglas Kmiec, who worked in the Reagan Justice Department during the 1986 Scalia nomination, says the Senate's attention at the time was focused on Rehnquist's simultaneous nomination for chief justice, not on Scalia.
