With zero judicial experience? I don’t believe it. It’s nonsense.

He was solicitor general of Texas. Historically there have been many SCOTUS justices with no judicial experience.

Judicial experience is not a requirement for Supreme Court justices and a number justices have not come from the judicial system. They are not required to have a law degree either, and many argue that the Court ought to have some justices without judicial experience. Their role has little to do with trial procedure.

This report, however, is probably nonsense.

He worked for a SC justice and brought arguments before the SC. He was Solicitor General of TX. There have been others that didn’t have actual judicial experience.

Elena Kagan was never a judge before being appointed to the SCOTUS.
