Ricky:

I would quote you, but it was too damn long. The Judicial, also, has no requirement of a JD. Just to be appointed by the Executive and ratified by the Senate. Most of our SCOTUS justices have been lawyers, but I'm willing to bet there were some who had not formal training in the law, especially early on. It is a tradition that they be lawyers and usually sitting judges, but they could be the poker cronies of W and still get ratified if the Senate were as stupid as everyone believes they are. Which they aren't. Just hide-bound and tradtionalistic.
