| 2. There have been many "rookies" in the past that were appointed... |
|
as CJ....The great Earl Warren was one (heck he was never even a judge up to that point)...Warren Burger...W.H. Taft.
Actually, probably most CJs in the past were rookies.

Only half of the CJ's were members of the court when appointed, I heard this on the News Hour.

| 12. Yes, never forget that it was Rhenquist who decided who was on... |
|
...the assorted three-judge panels that oversaw special prosecutor investigations... keeping ones against Republicans very tight and strict (e.g., Ollie North's getgting off on a technicality), while letting investigations of Dems become fishing expeditions; and replacing reputable prosecutors with partisan hacks (<cough>Starr</cough>).

We've got rookies heading up FEMA. May as well stuff 6-year olds in all those positions. As long as they're beholden to the religious/Republican/bu$hit theocracy-dictatorship - who cares?

Bush had virtually no leadership experience prior to the presidency.
The governor's position of Texas isn't all that powerful. And he was merely a frontman in all those businesses he ran in the 80's and 90's.

I wonder if now Roberts' nomination is serious enough that the Senate will insiste on reviewing his entire record, not just the combed over version the White House has chosen to release.
