Agreed. But they are exceptiosn rather than the rule, I don't think there is much historical justification for appointing two judges in a row that have effectively no real history or experience in ruling from the bench.
This isn't even borderline transparent. Woman who has helped Bush for X number of years gets nominated for a very plum job (which she would only have to do for 5 years before receiving an insanely high pension).
They can't even keep the door to the back room closed long enough to get things done.
