STUART TAYLOR has argued that for all the debate over the Supreme Court’s ideological, ethnic, and gender balance, the most salient imbalance on the current Court is the one in “the collective real-world experiences of its justices.” Taylor and others bemoan the absence of justices who have held elected office and who possess recent experience practicing law. He blames this state of affairs for decisions that split hairs at the expense of reality, and for a lack of productivity.
