I was discussing Brett with a far left friend the other day. He gave me this link.

2018-10-05 12:23:14 UTC  

I read through it and came away with a far different take away

2018-10-05 12:25:20 UTC  

He believes it says and the video shows that this ex scotus judge thinks Brett is biased and should not be chosen.

However when I read it I came away with the opinion that this judge thinks Brett is qualified. Just that when half of the country attacks him. He is no longer unbiased to half the country

2018-10-05 12:25:34 UTC  

Ah John Paul Stevens, he's been rather politically active for a former justice recently. He's the one who thought we should get rid of the 2nd amendment

2018-10-05 12:25:48 UTC  

You're probably reading it finer than your friend.

2018-10-05 12:30:22 UTC  

It's hammer time!

2018-10-05 12:30:58 UTC  

His response to my opinion.

Let us not argue about this, or other political things. I appreciate a bit of debate but as i said elsewhere, i dont support him because Trump.

2018-10-05 12:31:27 UTC  

Lol. Yeah, that's logic for you.

2018-10-05 12:32:19 UTC  

Wait, but bias is on part of the judge, not on part of people judging HIM.

2018-10-05 12:32:34 UTC  

100% of the population can think him biased, but he still wouldn't have to be.

2018-10-05 12:32:48 UTC  

Whether he is biased is in HIS application of the law, not someone's else's view.

2018-10-05 12:32:53 UTC  

I am totally confused.

2018-10-05 12:33:12 UTC  

"protect the institution from the perception of bias"

2018-10-05 12:33:22 UTC  

From the perception of bias?

2018-10-05 12:33:29 UTC  

I'd rather protect it from actual bias.

2018-10-05 12:33:35 UTC  

Which is never going to really happen as long as the politicians politicize the nomination process.

2018-10-05 12:33:54 UTC  

Yeah well, the news media has a bias that it wants implemented.

2018-10-05 12:34:02 UTC  

It sure does.

2018-10-05 12:34:25 UTC  

I'd rather have a fair judge that everyone thinks biased than the other way around.

2018-10-05 12:34:30 UTC  

Agreed.

2018-10-05 12:34:43 UTC  

Well, goodie gum drops.

2018-10-05 12:35:24 UTC  

Unfortunately, the left tends (and has really always tended) towards "win by any means necessary" for some time and has politicized the courts for decades.

2018-10-05 12:35:33 UTC  

And they'll fight over any ground they can.

2018-10-05 12:35:41 UTC  

So they're fighting to control the courts.

2018-10-05 12:35:44 UTC  

I am unsure what the negative outcome is from perceived court bias.

2018-10-05 12:35:51 UTC  

Unrest.

2018-10-05 12:35:55 UTC  

Much of it is is due to accepting equality of outcome.

2018-10-05 12:36:09 UTC  

I think it's actually deeper.

2018-10-05 12:36:10 UTC  

Equality of outcome was not even fair if I was the only one subject to it.

2018-10-05 12:36:28 UTC  

It is due to a belief in "caring for the weak" and being morally justified in everything.

2018-10-05 12:36:29 UTC  

If I did twice as much work than the year prior, I'd expect to get paid twice as much.

2018-10-05 12:36:38 UTC  

you know fellas

2018-10-05 12:36:42 UTC  

My pay does not even have to compare to anyone else's.

2018-10-05 12:36:43 UTC  

sometimes Donald Trump is not that great

2018-10-05 12:36:56 UTC  

"The right sees the left as wrong; the left sees the right as evil."

2018-10-05 12:37:07 UTC  

Equality of outcome is one of the most harebrained economic models you could choose.

2018-10-05 12:37:15 UTC  

It only sounds fair to a toddler.

2018-10-05 12:37:16 UTC  

As such the left believes it is the hero and will do anything it needs to win.

2018-10-05 12:37:37 UTC  

Equality of outcome for unequal work means that whoever worked harder got less per unit of time!

2018-10-05 12:37:42 UTC  

Actually, it doesn't even seem fair to toddlers. We have experiments proving toddlers hate equality of outcome.

2018-10-05 12:37:56 UTC  

It's only fair to statisticians, bureaucrats and academics
