      The usual line (from this writer/others) is that conservative justices are the ones with fealty to their inherently “true” constitutional principles. And that liberals are the expedient political actors, manipulating the law by working backwards from desired outcomes. 1/2https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1308855586839199748 …

      Nah, the point is that even the best judges are human and it's a bad idea to treat them with scorched-earth falsehoods & character assassination if you may want to ask them to rule for you later on. I suspect Kavanaugh will give them a fair hearing anyway, but he *is* human.

          I think he willl too, tbh—I think he realizes that he overstepped during the hearings when he actually revealed his partisan politics (talking about the Clinton campaign, etc). But if we all concede that justices are themselves political actors, and not just one side or the

          other, and that the bigger the case, the more those political priors loom, (and that, further, there is always enough case law and indeterminacy to create plausible arguments—only that some are more plausible than others), then we approach wisdom ourselves.
