His most recent cases are not as good as Casey and Schundler. Looks like he sided with a "gay" student who was taunted and a black death row inmate.

You can't just go by who he sided with - that is how Republicans have repeatedly gotten into trouble when trying to pick an originalist and ending up with a judicial activist.

You have to look at what the relevant laws were involved in the case and the what the details of the case were. There is nothing wrong with siding with a gay student who was being taunted if that was the correct ruling according to the relevant laws.

"Looks like he sided with a "gay" student who was taunted and a black death row inmate."

Do you have some insight into why those cases were wrongly decided? Did he "side" with someone inappropriate or did he apply the law correctly?

I read up on both of those cases. I am as conservative as anyone but I probably would have ruled the same way on the kid. On the convict, I would have ruled the other way. Mainly because you are convicted by the evidence and 12 of your peers studying the evidence. Not just one racist puke.
