Supreme Court justice David Souter is retiring. Off the top of my head, I would like Al Gore to replace him.

How about you?

Forgive me if I'm incorrect, but don't Supreme Court justices have to be actual legal professionals? A BA in government does not a judge make.

Because the Constitution does not set any qualifications for service as a Justice, the President may nominate anyone to serve.
