There is no constitutional requirement for a judge to be a lawyer or even have judicial experience at all. As a professional pick - I wouldn't have chosen her. .... No paper trail and no controversial views...

Agreed, but... no paper trail concerns me. That can cut both ways, could be good or bad.

...she can hardly be worse than Souter.

Hmmmm... that is not a resounding endorsement, LOL! And the last time a Bush tried sleath candidate (Souter) conservatives got burned.

I’d rather the pick be a known conservative and ram it through. The Republicans in the Senate have the numbers, they need to use them. IMHO.

Of course, if she turns out to be a stone cold conservative, i.e. Scalia, I’m taking this all back and saying Bush was brilliant. .

I agree 100% with your post.
