    A nominee's writing is fair game, including tweets. Senate advice and consent is part of the constitutional process. So, I don't fault senators for questioning 2 tweets. But I do think a fair reading of the @JusticeWillett account as a whole (25.9K tweets) is civics ed and fun.

        Judges on Twitter is just something new, so people aren't sure how to react. But it's really no different than a judge speaking at Kiwanis or Rotary—except there's a record. Hopefully more judges will join in over time.

        I’m going to disagree. It’s more like (or can be more like) a judge on a weekly reality show where they play to the audience. I think the lure of getting ‘likes,’ ‘hearts,’ etc. can be dangerous.

        That's a risk. But it might also be a measure of the judge's judgment. Seeing judge's in multiple forums gives a better picture. And having judges interact with the public helps educate folks about the judiciary.

        With due respect, I have seen little or perhaps nothing from @justicewillett that educates me about the judiciary. Please cite examples.

        I can speak more readily about my own interactions here. I regularly interact with attorneys about issues like appellate practice and arguments and with law prof's and students re legal writing.

        For the public more broadly, I often comment about public opinion and the courts (below) as well as procedural justice, the idea that the way people are treated by courts and law-enforcement officers is critical to their approval of the justice system.https://twitter.com/Judge_Leben/status/913354985433370625 …

        I have definitely gained from my interactions with lawyers, law students, and members of the public via Twitter. I'm hopeful that it has been helpful to others too.

        It has (to me, very much). I'll only add that the value of a judicial account isn't only what it says, but that it exists. 1/
