In the coming weeks the President will decide on his nominee to replace (physically) the retiring Justice Stevens, the only justice that is a protestant, and did not graduate from an Ivy League (meaning primarily Harvard and Yale) University. Other than Justice Sotomayor's trial work with the district attorneys office in New York, I can find no record in the biographies of the other justice's to suggest that any of them have ever tried, as a lawyer, a jury trial, or represented an "individual" client; although they have all served as appellate court jurists.
It seems time to try to break the "cookie cutter".
I will have much more to say when the "field" is narrowed.
