Irrelevant? I hardly think GWB thinks legal training to be irrelevant in this case. Meanwhile, everyone - conservatives included - seems to want a philospher king on the court. I find it refreshing that GWB stepped outside from conventional wisdom in many respects and did what he believes is right. What a hoot to see the left and right go loopy, as if the Supreme Court really is the ultimate legislator under our Constitution.
Isn't that ironically what all the supporters seem to want.
Someone who would "vote" the "right" way.
I want a Scalia. Someone who may find flag burning repulsive, yet Constitutionally protected.
