Indeed, it would seem that meritocracy is something of a myth? Or perhaps a half-truth? How can one work hard to achieve a subjective indicator? This subject just made me think about it a bit. There are probably thousands (10's of thousands?) of judges fit to sit on the Supreme Court who have all the merit, and yet statistically speaking basically none of them ever will which makes any selection unfair, no? This might actually be one reason to enlarge the court, but of course you'll still have many more qualified candidates than slots.
