I once had a lawyer swear to me that he'd never let an engineer or accountant serve on his juries if he could remove them through the pre-emptory challenge process.

That was enough to convince me that engineers and accountants are exactly what we need in courtrooms.

As I said, I agree with your general premise because we seem to have elected officials who couldn't keep their own checking accounts balanced, must less their budgets. Oh...wait...they can probably do that when it's their own money, but the taxpayers' money is FREEEEEEEEE to spend.

But I do think we need a strict Constructionist on the S.J. as well as someone who doesn't believe the taxpayers should be bled.

By the way, I enjoy your posts.
