"She appears to be at least as qualified as many who have preceded her."

What makes you say that?


Please explain what made Byron White qualified. Was it his Yale degree? Or his lack of experience as a judge?

Of course the same lack of experience beyond graduating from Yale (which you seem to admire) can be said of Abe Fortas.

Lewis Powell had no judicial experience and he didn't even graduate from one of your preferred schools.

Rehnquist had zero years judicial experience but did graduate from one of your preferred schools.

Of course Thurgood Marshall should never have been elevated because he had been Solicitor General, which is too cosy with a President.

Arthur J. Goldberg had no judicial experience but he did graduate from Northwestern.

Would you like me to go back further than the sixties?
