According to Ruth Tighe in her column on “On My Mind” last Saturday “ That President Bush has nominated someone to the highest court in the country who has had no prior experience whatsoever as a judge seems to me so insulting, so mindless, so ignorant as to be dismissed out of hand—automatically, without any thought required.”

I can’t understand why anyone is giving the nomination serious thought, any attention at all.”

Ruth, you might want to check your history and see how many non-judges were appointed to the Supreme Court before making such a blanket statement.
