This nomination says that judicial nominations - including Supreme Court nominations - shouldn't be the sole preserve of academic Federalist Society groupies. There's nothing wrong with being a corporate lawyer. They help make our commercial world go 'round.

Let's not lower the bar for the SCOTUS because of some grand design that average lawyers will somehow be more conservative than academics. The Senate and House are full of average lawyers and 97% of them wouldn't know the freakin' constitution if it hit them in the head.

Are you smoking crack? Is Luttig, JRB, Owens, Garza, Alito, McConnel, Clement, Estrada and Edith Jones a pack of elitists? I guess you would prefer that they never see the light of day.

Prior to his nomination Scalia was a professor at the University of Chicago and worked for the Heritage Foundation. I guess that made him an elitist.

I would rather have one of these elitists on the Court than a good woman whose only qualification is that she's loved by the President.
