He was poorly qualified (to say the least) when appointed, and mainly seemed to fit the bill as a young black conservative. He has now been on the bench for over 20 years. We know all we really need to know about him at this point, and it's hardly impressive.
Compare to Scalia, who is ideologically similar but of far greater intellectual heft.

Obamacare’s fix for an American health care system that the federal government long ago broke, is to give the federal government far more power over American health care; that its solution to escalating health costs is to mandate greater health benefits (and, hence, higher costs); and that its solution to the pricey overreliance on pre-paid health plans — offered by insurance companies in lieu of real insurance — is to have the government require Americans to buy those pre-paid health plans under penalty of law.
