As I thought, I didn't make myself clear. What pool of able and qualified jurists does any President have from which to nominate candidates for the Supreme Court (or any Federal Court, for that matter)?
The candidate's religion is not to be a qualification for selection; only his/her effectiveness in the law profession is to count.
If there are not a lot of Protestant lawyers interested in the judiciary, there will not be a fair number of Protestants represented in the group, will there?
That was my point with mentioning Palin.
We need to to take the law from the lawyers, they have a whole priesthood thing going, and most of them are incompetent and unqualified to be in their positions, that is why law in America is one of the most incompetent, corrupt, buffoonish, just plain ridiculously cartoonish, sectors of life and government in modern America.
