He should withdraw her nomination and pick a qualified judge...
The Constitution is not some document that only a privileged class of persons can read and determine its meaning. We don't live in some sort of technocracy in which only those with specialized knowledge determine the scope of our laws. The Constitution is written in everyday language and there is no reason why non-judges and even non-lawyers should not sit on the USSC.

The Constitution is written in everyday language and there is no reason why non-judges and even non-lawyers should not sit on the USSC. The Justices of the SCOTUS consult and are called upon to interpret more than just their pocket constitutions.
This Huey Long populist "anybody can be a Supreme Court Justice" argument is another real irritant. Since when did conservative thought get so anti-intellectual and anti-merit?
