just off the top of my head reagan nominated sandra day o'connor as a justice and eisenhower earl warren as chief justice, both with no experience on the bench. thurgood marshall was another. it's a good thing to have someone who hasn't spent their entire career dealing with other lawyer's only as supplicant's.
i'm more concerned with what it signals about our society that with stevens gone, there'll be no veteran of the armed forces on the supreme court. elites just don't serve any more.
the republicans will do what they must to rally their base but ultimately the court is more conservative after 2 obama appointee's than it was before. he's gone with 2 safe picks. i don't expect much of a fight.
