I don't know about that. If a justice is to make judgements that make sense the participants in a society then it would help if they themselves are aware of the status quo of that society. Otherwise their judgments may be right in some philosophical sense but will alienate people from the law in a way that does tremendous damage.

Judgments should not only be 'right' they should make 'sense', and some of the language in the decisions indicates that not all of them are in touch with the world as we know it to the extent that they should be.
