Bushes new pick- The judicial version of Mike Brown

This is absurd- this person has never been a sitting judge, has spent the vast majority of her career not being a practicing lawyer. Pick a right winger, okay, like Roberts. Roberts had at least some credentials. But this person?

Nowhere in history that I am aware of, has there been a justice with neither Bench experience nor Academic Credentials (professor of law for many years, at least!).

Now, before the mad partisans here start the chanting in unison- think! How can this be good for the country! How can someone who has never thought, debated, judged, discussed constitutional legal issues at length just jump into a job in the highest court? This person is less qualified than the supreme court clerks. This person has less experience than almost any lawyer or academic who will argue in front of her.

Now for those of you who stand in disdain of government and governance, and who scoff at the notion that any job involving the fate of our nation would require experience and credentials, Remember Mike Brown.
