imposing a "litmus test" for experience is unConstitutional,

The Constitution is a document that restricts the power of the federal government. How can FReepers, writing on a message board, in any way shape or form do something unconstitutional?

demanding a certain political leaning is unConstitutional, etc.

We weren't demanding a political leaning. We were demanding an originalist scholar.

You "were demanding an originalist scholar" by denying the importance of an originalist reading of the Constitution.

That is the crux of the problem and the precedent set up by the defeat of Miers by the "conservatives" who no longer are originalists themselves.
