      I'm curious that the main aim here is to attack "centrists" and liberals. I've been doing this for a while and liberals in the American political context have really *never* credited conservative conceits abt originalism or judicial restraint. That's just not so.

      I'm pretty sure that I have read liberals praising the sincerity of Bork, Scalia and even Kavanaugh. There was a cluster of op-eds from liberal law professors during their nominations. One example of many:https://www.npr.org/2018/09/09/646018064/a-liberal-law-professor-on-his-endorsement-of-kavanaugh …

          You said "many," as though this was a mainstream view among "centrists" and liberals. Of course you can find a few asshats—asshats that the vast bulk of liberals excoriated for being so naive

          Jeet is pandering to the far left by saying that centrists and liberals are same as the right. It's all he does now.

          I think it's more common among left-leaning legal academics than the center-left or left more generally. Law profs need their students to get clerkships, and so can't call out bs as easily as the rest of us.

          I mean liberal law professors bought (and many still buy) that the Federalist Society was just a debating club.

          I mean, "many people say" basically. But yes, those examples are there. But they're almost entirely people from the prestige law prof world who have various interests in buying that. Political people? Political legal people? Virtually none. But again, I simply note the focus.
