What do you do with a guy who has practised law for only 3 years, has never tried a case............

But we do need to ask ourselves, how would I have reacted had Obama nominated a man that may not be qualified? How would we have reacted if we found out he failed to disclose that his wife was a counsel for the white house?

One of the interesting things about America is that you don't actually have to be a lawyer to be a Supreme Court Justice.... Little known fact...

Are there qualifications to be a Justice? Do you have to be a lawyer or attend law school to be a Supreme Court Justice?


The Constitution does not specify qualifications for Justices such as age, education, profession, or native-born citizenship. A Justice does not have to be a lawyer or a law school graduate, but all Justices have been trained in the law. Many of the 18th and 19th century Justices studied law under a mentor because there were few law schools in the country.

• The last Justice to be appointed who did not attend any law school was James F. Byrnes (1941-1942). He did not graduate from high school and taught himself law, passing the bar at the age of 23.
• Robert H. Jackson (1941-1954). While Jackson did not attend an undergraduate college, he did study law at Albany Law School in New York. At the time of his graduation, Jackson was only twenty years old and one of the requirements for a law degree was that students must be twenty-one years old. Thus rather than a law degree, Jackson was awarded with a "diploma of graduation." Twenty-nine years later, Albany Law School belatedly presented Jackson with a law degree noting his original graduating class of 1912.

Would the press have even reported it and would we have even known? In my opinion Obama appointed a “wise Latina” that is not only unqualified but who has also refused to recuse herself due to conflict of interest when she judged a case she had argued as a lawyer.
