Mr. Kethledge
....
First and foremost, Senator, I think the approach I would
take recognizes the fact that, in my opinion, the fact that
judges are unelected I think is really the defining
characteristic of Article III judges and the characteristic
that circumscribes their power.
We are a democracy. Nobody elects Article III judges.
I think that means that Article III judges don’t get to impose their policy views, their opinions on the people of this country because that is not democracy.
The folks in this body do, and it is the job of Article III
judges to enforce your will, not the will of the judges
themselves.
I feel very passionate about that, and I tell you that, to the extent of my ability, that is what I would do if I were a judge.
Mr. Kethledge said “We are a democracy”? I hope not! That alone should disqualify him. We are a REPUBLIC.
