Lots of people in this thread are equating smarts to a lack of inherent human bias. I agree that there is a relationship there, but if you read enough cases, you get the feeling they often stretch to get to the conclusion they had (knowingly or unknowingly) predetermined.

Oh justices are absolutely biased, it's impossible to have a human being who isn't. The point is that the justices have to defend their decision with some sort of rational argument, while congressman simply vote yay or nay on a bill without qualifiers or precedent being set.
