Yeah, and there was a "confirmed" rumor on another forum that Doyle and Chip Reese were thrown out of the Bellagio last week for collusion. Lot's of that bad stuff going around. Inquiring minds want to know.

I don't like the idea of someone's first judgeship being on the Supreme Court - I don't think that's wise.

The topic of non-judges on the SC was mentioned on the news tonight. If I remember the numbers, out of 109 SC judges, 40 were never judges before. These include Earl Warren and Renquist. I (and others more learned than I) think that it is a good idea in principle, as long as the person is a top-notch legal mind, bringing other experience and views to the court.
The early returns on the top-notch legal mind part in this case seem to leave something to be desired.
