Even “courage,” normally a virtue, here means judges who’ll stick to their partisan guns and pay back their appointers even if it upsets colleagues, the public, or the law. Who wins is what matters. This is a capture scheme, and they want judges who’ll stay bought. — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, you can read a lot into “knew what they were looking for,” “shaping ‘the future of the country’” and “do[ing] it right." The big-Republican-donor court capture operation is now brazen. Except that they still won’t reveal the special interests paying for the scheme. — PolitiTweet.org

Sadly, an appellate judge told me he now sees judges “auditioning” for this, writing decisions not on facts and law, not to do justice among parties, but to signal their availability and reliability. Kavanaugh was an auditioning champion; look where he got. — PolitiTweet.org
