 and I'm not ignoring the "hack" evidence (although being a political hack is not necessarily mutually exclusive with being a capable lawyer or jurist; some very capable people build careers by sucking up to politicians), but, I repeat, it is not and should not be a requirement that judges have practices involving litigation.

  If I was choosing between two otherwise similar candidates, I'd prefer the one with a courtroom background but as "courtroom experience" seems  usually to mean former prosecutor or corporate defense firm partner, sometimes I might prefer someone whose judicial behaviotr will not be influenced by a long career in court.
