Good discussion. But I guess the bottom line is, there’s an underlying reason why groups, politicians, etc. go through so much to get “their” judges appointed. There’s a reason scumbag McConnell did what he did. Scotus judges are just as opinionated and ideological as everyone else. You know that, I know that, they know that, and therefore it’s a complete myth that somehow they’re not prejudiced. And if somehow their training in law guarded against that, well again, it obviously doesn’t - or else it would be a foregone conclusion that judges should not be nominated (i.e. be reflections of the ideologies that favor them) but instead should be trained from the start to NOT be ideological, not have opinions, etc. Or at the very very least, nominations should be in twos - with each being from opposite sides of the ideological spectrum (roughly).
