Poor analogy. Emphatically, I am not at all saying that lawyers and legislators and judges should stop being the arbiters of our government. I'm actually saying that I'm very glad Kavanaugh doesn't appear to be open to the idea of considering the values I'm describing if he were to sit on the bench --- he's seeing it as nothing other than text to be interpreted, and I'm happy about that. I'm simultaneously still hopeful that we can change the inputs to the legal system to get a resulting government that is more closely aligned with our values, without changing the legal system itself.
