Neither Earl Warren nor William Reinquist, both of whom eventually became Chief Justice, had experience as judge before being put on the Supreme Court. And they aren't the only ones:

    Like Justices Earl Warren (appointed in 1953), Powell (appointed in 1971), and Rehnquist (appointed in 1971), Miers has never been a judge.

    The White House notes 10 of the 34 Justices appointed since 1933, including President John Kennedy's close friend Justice Byron White, were appointed from positions within the president's administration.


I'm suprised that "Media Matters" didn't mention that, given how they CLAIM to be all about telling the truth.
