Choosing Senator Rodham Clinton. I.

Re: the right choice

> While all justices are lawyers, very few lawyers become judges. The Supreme Court requires experienced judges with a history and experience on the bench and preferably experience in constitutional law. We've had enough of unqualified political appointees on the Supreme Court.>

The justices NOW on the Supreme Court today are the worst since the justices who decided Dred Scott based on narrow legal precedents. Maybe even worse than that. The worst court in US history and all experienced court justices. All senior justices before appointment to the Supreme Court. All pretty d**n bad.

All of the justices now on the court are *long*time*experienced* trial court judges, but some of the very best justices in supreme court history were not judges before becoming Supreme Court justices.

We absolutely do not need more Alitos Scalias Roberts or Thomases

Our Supreme Court needs someone like William Douglas(never even wrote a legal opinion even as supreme court justice), John Jay(legislator and diplomat,never served as a judge anywhere), Oliver Wendell Holmes(never served as a federal court judge), Felix Frankfurter (diplomat,never served as a judge anywhere:zionist), Earl Warren(politician, never served as a judge), Thurgood Marshal(civil rights activist), and John Marshall who was the most important Supreme Court justice we ever had and never served as a justice anywhere before being appointed as Chief Justice.

Our greatest and best supreme court justices all were purely political appointees without any previous Federal Court judicial experience.

It is the narrow nit picking procedure ridden and academic justices with solid federal court experience who've been the worst. They get their federal experience by being appointed under the national radar as right wing and racist judges and anti-democratic agendas are the only reason they became justices in the federal courts under Reagan and Bush I and Bush II.

We need someone who places justice above the narrow precedents built up by rich corporations using courts to destroy congressional intentions in laws and twist the constitution to say things like G W Bush has a civil right to be president, what the gang of 5 said in 2000, giving Bush a personal civil right that trumped the civil rights of a couple of hundred million Americans

We now have a court which says workers cannot sue corporations to get justice unless the corporations agree they are guilty before they are sued, and that corporation's civil rights trump living person's rights.
