Congratulations on your heading. You didn't put 'of' after 'off'.

In fact, you don't need to be a lawyer nor have a degree to be a US Supreme Court justice.

Correct, which leads me to ask the question, who the fuck put them there? The answer, every fucking politician in Washington, D.C. And you think the AEP doesn't have a future?

That comes under the category of "spiritual."

Get those actors out of all the Hollywood films. They are just making a complete mess of it!!

And all those professors teaching in University. We need to get street cleaners to teach particle physics, and plumbers to teach fine art.

But worst of all its; those qualified drivers on the road. Cars should only be driven by people with no experience.

I don't know that we need to get "lawyers" off the supreme court but it would be useful to appoint people who had broader experience in politics, the world and business instead of the rather uniform CV of graduation from an ivy league school (especially Havard), and experience limited to or largely consisting of the federal bench. Some of the greatest justices have had previous governmental experience, Warren was governor of California for instance. The Court used to consist almost entirely of older white males but now there are three women, an African American, Catholics, Jews and Protestants so the Court is beginning to better reflect the society it serves but the experience on the court outside professional legal is still quite limited.

So fucking what? The court has never been so inept!
