But I've seen some speculation that after all the awfulness of the confirmation hearings accusing him of being a hard-right leaning justice that he would actually try (consciously or not) to show he's not locked into that mindset.
- davidu 7y agoThat certainly could be true. I like to believe supreme court justices remember that with that role comes with the truest ability to be impartial and unbeholden.
- rectang 7y agoThe justices probably don't believe that they are partisan. Rather, they believe that their own perspectives represent objective truth.
- debacle 7y agoThe same things (and worse, IIRC) were said of Roberts, and while I disagree with some of the rulings he has made, he's been remarkably unpartisan.
- davidu 7y agoI believe all of these justices care a lot more about their legacy of justice and the sanctity of the court than anything else.
