@chrisgeidner interesting observations about political components but I cant quite embrace Make The Judiciary Circumspect Again (or the hed)
@jujueyeball Note that McGough didn't use the "sane" framing.
@jujueyeball As for the meat of the piece, I don't think that's exactly what he wrote. But, there are limits on both extremes.
@chrisgeidner ya, ya. Generalizing the issue. plucked from the extremes I prefer honest ideologues to faked/forced ritual to dubious sacreds
@jujueyeball I think there's a difference between someone being honest about their past statements and someone prejudging a possible case.
@chrisgeidner not sure that's the end of the world or even bad. Certain actions are prejudged by existing law. But a nono for judges?
@jujueyeball There can be "settled law," but there is no "certain law," if you're the Supreme Court, so, yay.
@chrisgeidner it's a deeply arbitrary fetishization of process that I am okay with someone's honestly rejecting on certain certain issues
@jujueyeball But, the law is what they say it is — & it's very fact specific — & decisions change once you have that lifetime appointment.
@jujueyeball So, I'd argue its neither arbitrary nor a fetishization. I'd also argue it's not process, but, rather, very substantive.
@chrisgeidner rules in a confirmation process that include pretending you don't have opinions is silly! who knows how theyd influence cases?
