Interesting.Taft served as president and was also on the Supreme Court. 41 supreme court justice were never judges. In fact, there have been Supreme Court justices that weren't even lawyers. There is no constitutional requirement for supreme court justices.Just from an electability point of view, Klobuchar would be fine. Probably the best choice. She’s got experience, comes from the Roosevelt and Farmer/Labor tradition of the party, will bring in women who will figure she’s our next president, and she can win votes in swing states like nobody else. She’ll look tougher and smarter on trade and China than Trump/Pence. Above all she will come off as decent, hardworking, competent.
As for black voters, soon after the election cycle begins, with Obama beside him, somebody will ask Biden who he will nominate for a Supreme Court vacancy ... and he will smile at his old friend. If the Democrats are smart they will publically announce that Senator Warren will head an “economic post-Covid recovery” commission to overhaul taxation and corporate governance. If they handle themselves well and Trump is faltering, they won’t even have to debate Trump. Maybe seize on some insult. Biden is right to keep a low profile right now. Trump can still win, of course, but the Dems have a shot at it ... even with a dull and semi-senile Biden at the head of the ticket.
Barack Obama is not going to end up on the Supreme Court. The assertion is so ridiculous.
But can you imagine trudging through those arguments without the background of knowing the case law inside and out? Holy God. What a miserable experience. And would that selection be partisan much? lol
