I have no problem with life long politicians. I think somebody learns a little something dealing with real life problems in the political arena. In other words, one obtains judgment.

But those politicians weren't in politics in the way that a professional aide is. It's just as likely as the judgment of such people consists of "how best to get what Bush wants, in his judgment, accomplished." So when somebody comes to the court with two countervailing interests, for example, the need for secrecy in the war on terror and the right of the public to know, will she think "how do I best accomplish what Bush wants?" because that's what she knows.
