now that the supreme court protects ordinary people (heller) and not just professors, police, parasites, and politicians, it needs to be staffed by ordinary people and not elected officials
only appellate judges have the space-age technology to enforce medium-neutrality (EMA), content-neutrality (RAV), civilian rights (Heller), no special-privileges for journalists
Before Nixon, a judge's job was to create rules, like Miranda, which anyone can do.
But after Woodstock, a judge's job was to enforce the rule of law: no one is above the law; every right the police or journalist has, so does every other civilian.
the 68 gun-control act and Red Lion were America's Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After that everything had to change if america was going to save it's soul--the bill of rights and strict scrutiny

once they want to go back to finding rules between the amendments (miranda, exclusionary, brady), they'll go back to picking philosophers
