Justice Kozinski?
|
Nothing wrong with him in that role, and given that he is currently
heavily outnumbered in the 9th Circuit, giving him a promotion would
allow him to set binding precedent for his ex-colleagues to correct
their thinking. I still think that Janice Rogers Brown is a
better choice politically, for this moment, because she would
short-circuit the Democratic filibuster machine. But Kozinski is
someone I would support with
a great deal of enthusiasm should the President nominate him for the
current open seat -- or any later seat that opens up, for that matter. UPDATE: Bainbridge worries that Kozinski's libertarian leanings would cause him to vote with the liberal wing on social and cultural issues. He's right. That's why I support him! There's more to the law than God and Country, and Scalia's swing vote on the Raich case was embarassing. |
