bench experience is not a necessary disqualifier

Out of curiosity I checked and every one of the sitting justices served on the Appeals courts.

But you are correct about it not being required. In fact, I couldn't find ANY requirements.
Heck, I can be one.
It's just up to President and Congress.
Wouldn't nominating Hillary cause a lot of grief for Obama- almost a slap to the conservatives? And also, it would sure look like some kind of payoff. Just not a good way to start.
