As far as I know the only constitutional requirement to be a Supreme Court Justice is to be nominated by the President with the advise and consent of the Senate. She passed the first hurdle today.
Just note that when Nixon nominated Rhenquist, he was viewed by many as not being well qualified either. I'd more concerned, if Bush nominated a seventh grade sceince to teacher to head NASA but being an appeals court judge is not rocket science.
Some things never change. Too bad so many of us fall into the media trap and rush to attack our own.
Granted, it is not a constitutional obligation nor did he make the promise he'd appoint the best legal and experienced mind, absent Robert as a choice, for the position. This is why I defy those that contend this is a betrayal. But it's certainly a disappointment personally.
