Funny, but wasn't Rehnquist another SCOTUS nominee that wasn't a judge prior to nomination?

Ooo...links to supporting evidence of this? That could be a real diffuser of FR angst right about now.

I don't know if that is true or not, but I believe that Earl Warren and Brennan also had never been judges prior to their appointments. More food for thought.

Don't you people ever read. More than a third of justices were never on the bench. More than half were not sitting judges.
