    1. How uninformed is @JRubinBlogger? DC Circuit judges with no prior judicial experience: -8 of the 11 active judges, including 3 of 4 Obama appointees & all 3 Clinton appointees. -6 of the 7 senior judges -All 8 Supreme Court Justices from the DC Cir.https://twitter.com/JRubinBlogger/status/1189717779559145478 …

    Replying to @JanCBS
    You asked about experience. She is very low as are a number of other nominee. And yes, for the DC Circuit you should have had a day or two of judging

        3. Warren Burger Harry Edwards Lawrence Silberman Abner Mikva James Buckley Patricia Wald If you're keeping score, that includes 3 Chief Justices of the US, 3 nominees who almost made the Supreme Court, and the guy after whom they named the courthouse in which the DC Cir sits.

        4. I could go on listing the current & former names, but there is not now, nor has there ever been, a norm favoring judicial experience for DC Circuit judges; even Obama appointees like Sri Srinivisan who got high marks for qualification from the @JRubinBlogger crowd had none.

        5. One correction, which I should have caught but only further undermines Rubin's point: Kagan went straight to SCOTUS with no judicial experience, didn't even serve on the DC Circuit. (And if we're doing SCOTUS, she's not the first there, either, but there's a better case.)

        It’s not a drug, it’s a debilitating and painful disease. These unfortunates suffer terribly. Have some compassion, for goodness’ sake.

        Rubin is always as uninformed as she needs to be for the take.
