I really liked this quote from one of John Hinderaker's posts at Power Line:

I've always thought it might be salutary to have a non-lawyer or two on the Court. God knows we have plenty of businessmen, scientists, historians, housewives and others who are perfectly competent to read and understand the Constitution or a federal statute. And I think it would be fun to have such a person say, just once, as the Justices are deliberating: "Where does it say that?"

I have heard from quite a few this week who think that not only should nominees to the Supreme Court all have law degrees, but that those degrees should be from one of a handful of top schools and that experience as a judge is also necessary. But I would bet that even most of those people would love to hear John Hinderaker's question asked by one of those sitting on the Supreme Court. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it already has.
