I think as long as they have some kind of experience with law in their background, then fine. I don't think they need to have been a judge in order to qualify, and in fact, it could be argued that we need someone outside of appeals courts in order to supply some balance, since most (or maybe all?) of the ones currently serving are from appeals courts.

I definitely think the next couple of picks should be women though, perhaps a latina and an african-american or maybe an asian or an american indian. We need a wide variety of opinions, and women have the court WAY stacked against them, even though they make up more than half the population.
