But the fact is more than 40 Supreme Court justices were nominated and confirmed to that position without prior judicial experience. But I do think she has the professional experience that will prepare her for this position

We should recess to pay respects to the chief justice and his family, ... But we should continue on with the confirmation hearings to make sure that there aren't eight justices on the court when the new session begins.
