What is this the damned good-ole-boy network??

This is third world cronyism. The lady has never even been a judge.

There is no requirement that a USSC Justice needs to have been a judge.

James Wilson, the first USSC Justice, had no prior judicial experience. There have been many justices who were not judges. It's a good thing in my book, not a bad thing.

Rehnquist was never a judge either, as have a number of SCOTUS members.

You know zippo, nada, about this subject, but commenting anyway like you are an expert.

The lady has never even been a judge.

That's a PLUS, there is no such requirement.

That COULD be a good thing. Maybe she will bring some good ol' Texas common sense to the bench.
