Thirty years ago I might have agreed with you. But when you look at the process over the past 20 years by which SC justices are nominated and confirmed (or not confirmed), and look at the amount of politics that go into the process and the huge investments of money and resources of special interest groups in affecting the outcome, SC appointments have really become no better than political campaigns, except that they don't have to run every two or six years, and the voters never get a single crack at them--it's all special interests and politicians who need to raise millions from those special interests for their own campaigns.
