Sorry but your logic does not compute.
Lawyers are, by nature, POND SCUM. Do not give them any more due than they deserve.
The Constitution does NOT require a law degree to be on the Supreme Court.
I would trust the opinion of the average idiot on the street as much as a federal judge.
Once they get appointed and confirmed for LIFE, they are little GODS and know it. They are not desperate for cash.
Let's see how good you are at logic.
Lawyers are, by nature, POND SCUM. Do not give them any more due than they deserve.
Clearly you are not a logical person but one filled with hate. Smearing all lawyers as pond scum is an idiotic statement. Senator Jeff Sessions is a lawyer -- do you think he is pond scum? For that matter, my brother is a lawyer, a Freeper and a decorated Marine veteran to boot. If you want to call him "Pond Scum" then send a Freepmail to XJarhead and say so. I'm sure he'll treat your childish name-calling with the respect it deserves.
The Constitution does NOT require a law degree to be on the Supreme Court.
It doesn't require the Surgeon General to be a surgeon either. The Founders did expect double-digit IQ from those who apply the Constitution. Not even the dumbest clods in the Senate would vote to confirm a nominee who was not even minimally qualified to serve as a Justice.
I would trust the opinion of the average idiot on the street as much as a federal judge.
It is understandable that you would trust someone you could relate to, as you clearly have not the least bit of insight into what Justices actually do. Fortunately, nobody in any position of influence would do as you suggest.
Once they get appointed and confirmed for LIFE, they are little GODS and know it. They are not desperate for cash.
The Founders wanted an independent judiciary. I do not see how turning Justices into panhandling bums would improve the quality of the decisions. That's why the Founders made it unconstitutional to reduce judicial compensation.
Then again, you probably think any group of people on the street could have written the Constitution in the first place. The fact is that the Founders were highly educated men who were very familiar with the history of Rome and other classical history. They were all mostly lawyers as well. If you wish to consider the Constitution as the product of pond scum then there is no hope for you.
