An Interesting Perspective On Miers Nomination

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Yesterday, Riehl World View posted a very interesting perspective on some of the arguments against Harriet Miers. I meant to cover it yesterday but forgot to come back to it:

John Marshall is widely revered as "the great Chief Justice," but before joining the Supreme Court in 1801 he had never served a day in judicial robes and lost the only case he argued at the high court. Earl Warren had worked for 18 years as a prosecutor and was three times elected governor of California. But he had no prior judicial experience. Nor did William Rehnquist, Felix Frankfurter, and Louis Brandeis.
I wonder how many dissenters are aware of this?
