      Some conservative legal scholars really manage to convince themselves that conservative judicial ideology is somehow the view from nowhere.https://twitter.com/McCormickProf/status/1065419714019672065 …

      There are many judges--state and federal--who act on ideological motives, not neutral principles impartially applied. (The late Stephen Reinhardt is an egregious example.) There are even prominent theories justifying their doing it. It's no use (or help) pretending otherwise.

      I can tell you, folks don't show up at Federalist Society confabs because they lack ideological motives.

      Legal academia's insane fixation on theories of judicial interpretation is shot through with crazy avoidance of the obvious fact everyone thinks applying their favorite theory produces results they find ideologically congenial.

      That's why legal realists are the only good people.

          It's not really about "ideology". It's about party partisanship. The Republican Party's various positions do not fit with modern judicial precedents or the modern view of equality, and that's why Supreme Court Republicans often sound rambling and incoherent
