To stick to the analogy, Angels would goad us higher, they don't give us slick personalities or powers of performance--that's the Devil's job.

Got a pin?  :-)

IMHO, I don't think what we want right now is a Justice who is goaded to go higher.  I think what we want is a Justice who will interpret a sentence according to its construction.

I don't ever want to place myself in the position of defending Clinton--except this once.  Had you seen him that day, you'd understand he was the real deal in service to the wrong cause.  He was not practicing sophistry or rhetoric at the mic.  No sir.  Not that day.

And, say Robert Bork wouldn't? It's a damn good idea for ALL of us to go higher

I did see him that day. Clinton never uttered a sound that didn't serve his own ends. A goddamned liar is a goddamned liar 24/7
