For that matter why can't we get someone who has actually practiced law?

None of the people who have been appointed in recent years ever represented an actual human. They clerked and maybe had a government job but never took that big step and tried representing humans ... stuff like working at a silk stocking firm doesn't count cause all their clients are immense corporations.*

People talk about their brilliant legal minds but it is easy to be brilliant when there is nothing actually at stake ... try representing someone before a hostile judge when everything your client owns is at stake, then we can talk about brilliant.

*They like to tout their "pro bono" work but they will put 250 hours into an eviction case, hello? In the real world you cannot put 250 hours into an eviction case.

Diversity, liberal style
POWERLINE
By Paul

If Elena Kagan is confirmed, as she is expected to be, the Supreme Court will contain three female Justices. And it will be a diverse group of women too -- one originally from Brooklyn, one originally from Manhattan, and one originally from the Bronx.

Like the song says: "New York, New York, it's a hell of a town."
