Even though there is more talk in recent years of choosing nominees who would bring greater diversity of background to the Supreme Court, presidents still turn to appellate judges. I think there are two reasons: First, some genuinely believe that appellate or district court experience is the best preparation for the Supreme Court, and second, that experience gives a president a track record by which to get a better sense of what kind of justice the nominee would be. All presidents want a nominee who shares their basic philosophy and a blank slate is too risky.Chris M. asks: What were the most controversial decisions Justice Stevens was involved in Marcia Coyle: I ;ll just give you a sa Dpxx Prolonged drought brings famine and fear to Somalia
