I have to think this is a good idea. I'm increasingly annoyed/wary of the fact that we are ruled by a tiny class of people with an entirely homogenous eduction (law). It's important (vital, in fact) to have sharp legal minds in government, but when 99.9% of the decision-makers in a society come from a narrow mind-training tradition, it necessarily removes some solutions from the conversation. It's nice to think of a cabinet meeting wherein a Nobel laureate in science is evaluating the conversation.

Agreed.
In fact, I would even extend that to appellate courts. Obviously they need to be trained as lawyers, but do they all need to be ivy league educated academics?
