It appears I’ve violated all the “rules” of this board in one fashion or another. If someone would point me to the rules, I’d gladly follow them.

I posted the PFAW piece which I did not have a direct link for and rather than do a link to an inclusion in another link, I cut to the chase. If someone has an article from a learned journal on the judicial selction process that contradicts or goes beyond the PFAW, please provide a cite. I’ll read it.

I sense a growing hostility here and I can’t discern if it’s because my views diverge from the group or for some other reason. If the former, then I think you miss out when you limit discussion to like-minded folks. Too much inbreeding. I’m sorry people can’t bring themselves to read opposing points of view, whether from The New Yorker or PFAW or elsewhere–even, god forbid–MSM.

If there’s some other reason, let me know. I’ll listen.

If I used too much bandwidth, I’m sorry. OTOH, I think Roger might benefit by all the hits, no?
