"When judges act like whores, they can hardly expect to be treated like nuns.”

If judges confined themselves to acting like judges, instead of legislating from the bench, creating new "rights" out of thin air that are nowhere to be found in the Constitution, maybe Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominees would not be such bitter and ugly ideological battles.

We could call it a Scalia-ism.
I recently saw a video in which Scalia did say exactly that, if in different words.

I’m certain that term limiting judges is the ONLY way to go in a two party system. Pretending that judges are not partisan is fantastical thinking.
