I grew up around lawyers; they're my favorite bureaucrats. As far as legal philosophy is concerned, as a NY Biglaw partner put it, "Lawyers don't read that stuff. Lawyers are tradespeople!" Her tone was contemptuous. I laughed. 
The justices of Supreme Court are political appointees, almost always mediocre minds.
If we get hacks it's a failure of politics.
"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
