Do you know many constitutional judges like that? We are looking for moral & originalist judges who will not legislate from the bench, not special ops leaders.
Thank you. People need to get real about what matters and what makes a man.
Being helpless in the face of evil, watching unjust trashing of a reputation you have built for your entire adult life, being exposed to the raw unreasoning hatred of people who are supposed to be the arbiters, I’d say that would strike deeply and get past normal defenses.
“Do you know many constitutional judges like that? We are looking for moral & originalist judges who will not legislate from the bench, not special ops leaders.”
I’ve posted a number of times on judicial topics that nominees (whether for the SC or lower courts) should be strict constructionist, original intent lawyers. My point in the post you responded to is that the nominee should also be willing to withstand any attack to remain true to those principles. Principle is absolutely required, but the candidate must also be willing to withstand attacks from the left without flinching or wavering.
If this candidate can do that, that’s great. Can he?
I have no information to suggest he isn’t. That is totally different than what is happening to him now. Past cases suggest he hews true to his principles.
Let’s turn your question on it’s head. He showed that he was stricken by being unfairly denounced by an authoritative group in his field. He did not suck up or disavow his positions.
Plenty of time to slander, no time for answers, figures...
I want a judicial pick who gets ANGRY when mud is thrown at him, not burst into tears.
