Today’s DJ has Dean Chemerinsky with There is no such thing as value-neutral judging: “Over a century ago, the Legal Realists exploded the myth that judges can mechanically apply the law without making value choices. Now, astoundingly, several U.S. Supreme Court justices are trying to tell us that their views and ideology have nothing to do with their decisions. That is nonsense and it is hard to imagine they are persuading anyone.”
