--Frankly, I don't care about his personal beliefs. He could be a wiccan gay transvestite for all I care as long as he will interpret the constitution as it is, and not as he wishes it were.--
I knew I had made a mistake in saying "personal beliefs". I meant personal opinions.
Frankly I find it astonishing that you would not take a case as a lawyer that you had problems with. I thought lawyers acting as lawyers and lawyers acting as judges were two different things.
Unless you step back and see that nearly all Judges were once lawyers. Then you realize, there isn't much difference. A day comes when a lawyer, is granted more power and thus by OJT and a waive of the wand, presto, instant Judge...Now I see the difference.
When working pro-bono, you do that because it is a good thing to do. It is an attorney's free, volunteer time. I tried not to advance bad causes when working pro-bono. Roberts advanced a very bad constitutional position when he didn't have to.
It would be a little like if I had some spare time and decided to work for John Kerry. A bad thing I didn't have to do.
