That is stupid. Not even a law degree? So going by your response, 45 could nominate and put on the bench Sean Hannity, or Rush Limbaugh?
That is scary.

The Senate has to advise and consent, and they generally prefer nominees who are highly qualified. I'm not sure if we can count on this particular Senate to be that picky.
Yep, no legal requirements. I think the founders made the mistake of not putting in some. But I guess they assumed the advise and consent part would get congress to bring up experience. I find that lack of requirement scary considering whom now has the power to make those nominations and that congress is lopsided to theocratic minds.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
