Every week, Clay Today will test or enlighten your knowledge on a variety of topics. This week, the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court’s ruling on Monday, March 6, that Donald J. Trump’s presidential bid couldn’t be removed from a state ballot was applauded by many and reviled by others. But did you know Justice Elena Kagan had never had any judicial experience before being appointed to the bench by President Obama? Without residing over something as trivial as a parking ticket, she is now responsible for determining the law of the land. And she isn’t the only one. William Rehnquist is one of 40 justices since 1789 who were appointed to the bench without presiding over a case. Kagan was the U.S. Solicitor General, which means she argued cases before the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of the Attorney General before her appointment in 2010.
