Has any non lawyer/judge ever successfully navigated that route through Senate approval? I'd think it would be near impossible in todays political environment. I shudder to think what it could be like with a few non-lawyer/judge types in SCOTUS. Imagine 3 AOCs on the bench. We'd be doomed.
Supreme Court nominees are thoroughbred to get through confirmation these days. Ivy League, supreme Court clerk assignment, no record of judicial activism, they all look like sleepers.
