In the heat of
recent judicial confirmations, the prospects that a litmus test for political
ideological purity is the overriding standard, has finally been verbalized. Some
may fear that this will politicize the judiciary. For those weak knee and
spineless neophytes of the real politik, it is time that you face reality that
the federal judge is a politician. The notion that the judiciary is above
politics is lunacy. The pretense that has been fostered that lifetime
appointments allow for independence is as inaccurate as saying that a jury is
bound to follow the instructions of a judge. People need to deal with reality,
and discard pious versions of a fairy tale.
