You're suggesting that he appoint to SCOTUS someone who has never been a judge at any level, even municipal court? That has happened once at the state level.

That has happened once at the state level. It didn't end well.

And contrary to your implication, there have been 40 SCOTUS justices who had no prior judicial experience, including several Chief Justices. source: http://supreme.findlaw.com/supreme_court/justices/nopriorexp.html http://supreme.findlaw.com/supreme_court/justices/nopriorexp...
