- No, I agree. Earl Warren, a Repub who supported the concentration camps
- for Japanese-Americans in California during WWII, later became the foremost
- legal libber of his time when he got to the Court. There's really nothing
- that anyone can do to ensure beyond doubt that a justice will vote a certain
- way. However, _as a general rule_, judges' past records tend to indicate
- their political bent. That's the best anyone can do, and that's the criterion
- that should be used in determining SC justices, in order to aim for the most
- balanced Court possible.
