I have socks older than this.

Is seven years enough time? I’d think a person like this had better be very special.

How old was Mozart when he was composing and performing for emperors and kings?

We have a stupid system now when you have to be just the very “right” age, within a very narrow band, to get a USSC nomination. Politically smart to stretch it a bit to the younger, so you don’t lose the actuarial number of years out of an appointment, but also don’t end up on passing on so many of your best nominees because they don’t quite precisely fit that narrow age window.

I am personally of the opinion that most judges should be non-lawyers. That was the way it used to be even on the SCOTUS and it worked pretty well.

Most of our problems started when we got this silly idea that the law was so complicated that only someone who studied for years could understand it.
