This is so ironic on its face, I thought it was some kind of joke:
Judges have become too much like politicians, with the unfortunate result that picking new ones has become needlessly partisan and time-consuming, Justice Antonin Scalia said Thursday.
As long as judges tinker with the Constitution to “do what the people want,” instead of what the document actually commands, politicians who pick and confirm new federal judges will naturally want only those who agree with them politically, Scalia said.
“So politics has made itself known,” he told an audience of the Philadelphia Bar Assn.
Good judges are honest lawyers who stick to the letter of the law or the Constitution, whatever their political philosophy, Scalia said.
Scalia is troubled by the frequency with which judged act like politicians? Scalia doesn’t like it when partisan agendas influence court rulings? I’m at a loss.
