Why do we limit the supreme Court to great minds when its mostly the dumb people at the impact edge of the law the Court makes?

We don't. Scalia is Exhibit A.
I recall him saying a few years back at Georgetown that judges should allow their religion to inform their decisions. Thats not smart from a scholarly or common sense perspective. Only a fool utters a view so likely to be met with criticism. And only a fool allows the teeachings of mysticism to meedle with the application of the laws of the state.
