An unlikely friendship?

searsLeah Ward Sears, chief justice of the Georgia Supreme Court, has been mentioned as a possible U.S. Supreme Court replacement for Justice David Souter.

Sears became the nation’s first African-American woman to preside over a state Supreme Court in 2005. The Washington Post has written an interesting story — http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/09/AR2009050902519.html?wprss=rss_print — on her friendship with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, whom civil rights activists have accused of failing to represent African-Americans interests.

Should that friendship be a factor in deciding whether Sears should be nominated?
