WI Supreme Court Justice Judy Sheindlin?

Aka Judge Judy. Her name was once floated instead of Harriet Miers, and she'd certainly be qualified with her OTL legal experience.
 
Here's an idea to make civil libertarians rejoice: President Nixon, VP Cheney, FBI Director Hoover, AG Judy Sheindlin, DCI RFK with Dick Helms as his deputy. There will be a PATRIOT Act, and possibly a repeal of Posse Comitatus.
 
The ABA would probably have concerns, and I don't think the Senate would accept her either.

True. But I really like her "no holds barred" technique in the TV courtroom. Unlike the other TV judges who tend to moderate their voices and sarcasm, she does not hold back. I would LOVE to see an exchange between Judy Sheindlin and Antonin Scalia. I've got the popcorn ready.
 
I think she is a Republican, and she comes across as being pretty sharp*, so if her career had turned out differently, with her becoming a federal judge or state supreme court justice, then why not? She may be the best opportunity for the GOP to fill one of the Jewish seats on the court.

But as an alternate to Miers IOTL? That's pretty screwed up. Idiocracy time (and I haven't watched that movie, just seen it referenced here.)


*Her intellectual abilities? Who knows.
