You raise an interesting point. Justice Byron ("Whizzer") White was a professional football player before he went on the Court. That's almost certain to be the most unusual prior job.

You raise an interesting point.

Thanks.

Justice Byron White - Professional Football - Check.

Enjoyed your article.  Thanks for posting them for us.

Something I've not seen mentioned hereabouts as a cause for concern is all the mounting pressure for Harriet Miers to talk.  If this conservative snipping does not cool, she will be sitting before the Judiciary Committee under more pressure from unelected conservatives than from the usual Democratic committee Grand Inquisitors.  How strange.

She dare not reveal her thoughts about those things she ought not talk about.

If she doesn't talk, the unhappy ones typical of posters here will have a cow.

Not an enviable position for the lady from Texas.
