[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we please move this to the Off-Topic forum? The Third Branch simply does not pay attention to politics. Thus, it's not fair to sully their good name here. Place this in the Off-Topic forum so people can discuss the likely change in LEGAL philosophy.[/quote] Are you serious? Of course they pay attention to politics. They hopefully don't base their decisions on politics but they are certainly aware of the implications. Many judges were very political creatures before they were appointed -- you don't get appointed without knowing someone. The judge I clerked for did a stint as treasurer for one of Arlen Spector's campaigns back in the day. It's the very rare federal judge who is appointed just because he or she is an outstanding lawyer. It happens, but usually they know someone or know someone who knows someone.[/quote]
