This only holds if you believe a proper interpretation of the law necessarily must bend to the common good - whatever you think that is. Laws are made by political processes whether or not the process is equitable. I'll take an intellectually average judge with a concern for the little people over an intellectual giant of the right any day because there is a moral blindness that underscores right wing philosophy - and it begins with the sin of pride, e.g., we are special, we have been set apart, we are selected by god to lead, our shit doesn't stink, etc.
