Absolutely.
This wasn't an anti-Bush thing, I just find it extremely odd that you would give someone a lifetime appointment to the highest court without them having any experience as a judge

If I'm not mistaken, one half of all Supreme Court Justices ever appointed have had NO prior judicial experience.
Most Chief Justices, including Roberts, are nominated to the highest position on the Court without any previous experience on the Court; indeed some, like John Marshall and Earl Warren, without any prior judicial experience.
