The third was the utterly devastating argument<BR/>that I thought of after going to bed that night."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098620.post-1145592160419995722006-04-21T00:02:00.000-04:002006-04-21T00:02:00.000-04:00Actually, I'd be thrilled if there was a requireme...Actually, I'd be thrilled if there was a requirement that someone had to serve at least 3 years as a defense attorney and 3 years as a prosecutor before they went on the appellate bench. I think it would give an appropriate sense of perspective.
