If I were appointing a SC Justice


Recommended Posts

I would pick a federal judge with as little experience on the bench as possible, wouldn't you?

 

I would never consider picking someone with a long judicial record- that would be crazy.

I get your sentiment, but the judiciary is like other trades and crafts - the ability to deal with complications, the nuances, the tricks of the trade etc. come of lengthy experience. And much of the job is not involved with the marquee issues - a goodly portion of the cases involve adjudication of mundane contracts, torts, private entities vs. the States and so forth.
