Why do Justices change their mind on the death penalty after decades on the Court? Some speculation: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2015/07/01/why-the-late-career-conversions-at-the-supreme-court-on-the-death-penalty/ …
@OrinKerr Well, you're suggesting that workload--not the compelling reasons stated by the Justices themselves--is the cause of conversion.

@benwizner Breyer and Ginsburg are very smart: why would it take them each more than 20 years to appreciate these arguments? -
@benwizner But true, I'm making a legal realist argument about what might be motivating them beyond the actual words they have written. -
@OrinKerr@benwizner Jeez Ben, judges are people too. They make decisions for the same petty (or strategic) reasons other people do.
