"You're too stupid to realize that there is NOBODY on the Court that fits that description."

I realize that there's no one currently on the court that fits the description; however, the line about Miers taking the place of Rehnquist is misleading, in the sense that the slot has already been taken (by Judge John Roberts).

He was talking about taking his place on the Court as someone who had never been a judge, not his slot specifically.

You just keep on changing the story, but they are all false.

Yes, in the physical sense but not in the sense of judicial experience which is what Scalia was talking about..... You aren't keeping his words in the context they were submitted.

[Howlin]

You're splitting hairs now that you've been shown you're wrong.

You know very well that Rehnquist never was a judge; that was the parallel.

You seem to need Romper Room News to figure these things out.

scalia stated that it is worthwhile to have someone without prior judicial experience, just as CJ rehnquist had none when he arrived at the court. he was not referring to his LITERAL replacement on the bench.

For the last time, jdm:

Miers is nominated to take the place of Rehnquist, as the judge without prior judicial experience.
