There is no Constitutional requirement that a justice be a judge or a lawyer, but so far they have been. Which excludes Trumps.

If they were elected, it would be much easier to have someone with no legal experience, provided they can raise enough money to run for office.

You know there ARE stipulations for people running for elected office, right? For example, the president has to be a natural-born US citizen over the age of 35 (I think). Well, just add stipulations of having a law degree and/or have practiced law for so many years before being able to run for an open SC Justice position.
