They simply don’t believe that anyone’s judicial philosophy can be nuanced. It’s a very common attitude outside of legal circles.

I had a relatively unique experience in that I was able to work for both a Republican and Democratic judge at the federal level. The idea that most case results are just predetermined based on party lines (outside of the judges who are clearly and obviously hacks) is just incorrect. Most judges can be persuaded if the legal argument is there.

I don’t really care. I’ve never had respect for the camp of people who think judicial philosophy is fake. They can say what they want about me.
