I think you’re drawing the wrong conclusion. The Compost likes him because he made the “right” decision in this case — to rule for, to use the current phrase, “the little guy”. We like him because he made the decision based on the law. And as the ignoramus Feinswein discovered today, he has much more history of making decisions based on the law than reflexively for the “right” kind of plaintiff or defendant.
How often do you think that cases decided in favor of the women claiming "an environment hostile to women" are decisions based on the law? Remember,Obola was elected twice on the basis that "the White House is an envirnoment hostile to Kenyans".And ILLary *almost* succeeded by shouting "hostile to women".
