What are YOUR "qualifications" then for Associate Justice to the Supreme Court? And then, after you spell those out, please support your opinion with a cite to said qualifications being required by Article and Chapter in the U.S. Constitution.

Did you have the same viewpoint of qualifications to be President of the United States? Besides age and being a natural born citizen, there aren't many constitutional qualifications for it either.

Nice try. The Constitution says you have to be a citizen. I would like that citizen to be a proven strict constructionist. Someone who is steadfast in those beliefs, and won't wilt once they get on the court.

These days, a history on an Appellate Court appears the best way to determine that. I'm open to other ways, but most of all I want to end up with an originalist. Someone free of the bonds of penumbra's and such. The Constitution says what it says. We don't need soothsayers to divine it.
