Might the appointment of a person from the elective side of government help the Supreme Court build more internal coalitions and compromises within the Court--making a less divided Court who more reflects America? A Court who is more sensitive to the other two branches of government and the voting public?

There is "precedent" for this on the Court. Many, many of the justices over the years have come from the "political/elective side" of Government. Sandra Day O'Connor is a recent example who served as a State Court judge in Arizona.
