Talk:Robert Jackson

"Most recent" justice not to have graduated law school might be better. O'Connor's and Souter's retirements both prompted yammerings from the peanut gallery, and in the latter case even from a veteran of the Senate Judiciary Committee, that legal experience is not so important in a justice. Harriet Myers got nominated never having been a judge. She didn't get confirmed, of course, and even if she had there'd still be another big step to take to get back to the days of non-lawyers on the Court, but I'm much less certain that step will be taken than I'd like to be.
