The court is full of justices who served as academics and court of appeals judges before they were nominated to the bench. What the court is missing is someone who understands the consequences of its decisions on the American people....

This is a good point. We could use a truck driver or a nurse on the US Supreme Court. Diversity is not just gender or ethnicity or color; it also includes people's backgrounds and occupations.

IIRC, the US Constitution does not require judicial background for Justices.

Harry Truman owned and operated a men's clothing store before he got to congress.

He had more courage than any other President in history.

Doubtful any President in the future would have dropped the bomb to end the war and save American lives.
