That tells me only that they're looking for smart people.

Brooklynite has posted the guy's actual history. He's smart, a magna from Harvard Law. He's had his appointment to the district court stalled by wingnuts, so he has little affection for the far right. Perhaps you need to read actual history rather than trying to accuse him of guilt by association, something that could invite unwanted scrutiny of your own friends and family.

I don't have any illusions about his being a raving leftist. There is no way a leftist judge would ever be confirmed by this senate.
