The "brilliant" ones are so impressed with their blinding intellect that they believe that international law should be listened to, that the 2nd Amendment doesn't mean what it says, that there are "penumbras" and "auras" and what not...at least someone dumb would not try to pretend that Kelo (eminent domain) or Warwick v Filburn represent genius level reasoning of the court.
The brilliant justice that cooked up the idea of "penumbras and emanations" was William O. Douglas, a man who came to the Court with NO judicial experience or paper trail.

Does this mean that there are not "brilliant" judges that are strict constructionists. Are all "brilliant" judges out because "brilliant" leftist judges have been wrong in the past.
I can not argue with your logic. You make a lot of good points. It also made me laugh.
