I don't think there's anything wrong in principle with appointing a non-judge to the Court. In this particular case, though, I have a hunch she was appointed because she would support the hard right agenda, but she had no track record to object to.

I don't disagree with that equation, but I think that a non-judge should have a more objectively universally exalted position in the legal profession (or politics, based on history). She doesn't. And for the record, I am against pure stealth. The people I have touted have all had judicial records and the accomplishment to get to the judges seat. Or if not, have a record of accomplishment, remember I have touted Senator Hatch and Ted Olson. This lady, outside of Texas, no offence RT, is a zero.
Bush has pissed on the process. You can support him on this one, but I may be done.
