You have something against the private sector? Do you think only those who have suckled at the states teat are capable of reading and understanding the constitution? I've spent my entire adult life in the private sector. Met a lot of very smart and capable folks. I'm not buying what you and a bunch of others are selling. Constitutional law is not that hard. When the constitution says the people have a right to keep and bear arms, that's exactly what it means.
Sure. Makes you wonder why a dumbass like Robert Bork had to spend so much of his career on it.
No, but apparently you do have a problem with public service.

I see, so you think all public servants are parasites. Are you an anarchist?
Anyway, to answer your quesiton, I take the conservative position that people in high positions of authority should have extensive experience related to what they're doing. A CEO should have extensive experience as a high level manager in a company that's in the the same or related industry. Likewise, Supreme Court Justices, being the highest judges in the land, should have experience either as judges or as public servants in other important, high level judicial roles.

Being smart and capable is not enough to qualify a person for any high-level position. You have to have related experience. If it's a private sector position, it means private sector experience. If it's a judicial position, it means judicial experience.

Oh yeah. Constitutional law is just oh so easy. Why bother sending supreme court justices to law school? Just pick any Tom, Dick or Harry off the street.
