We would probably have a better Supreme Court even if we had arbitrary requirements that make little sense but would be a better alternative to what we have now. For instance:

• All Justices must have the name Horatio (either a given name or by name change). No last names.

• Twenty years of experience required in horticulture, which because of the forementioned name change, is more like horatioculture.

• Must have read at least 3000 books of any type.

• Can juggle an arbitrary amount of oranges on demand.

• Has combat experience in either blunt or bladed weaponry in the event of a zombie apocalypse, with a skill level scaled to their age. Alternatively, skilled in the occult and necromancy (to turn the undead).

• Can create rhythmic song related to the laws being discussed in the event of spontaneous musicals.
