Identity Politics Trumps Judicial Qualifications At NYT
Written by Brian Garst, Posted in Identity Politics, The Courts, Criminal Justice & Tort
On Saturday the New York Times printed a collection of op-eds from various “legal experts,” describing “the kind of justice the court needs.” Here’s the list they came up with:
- A Politician
- A Veteran
- A Young Person
- An Evangelical
- A Nonbeliver
- An Immigrant
- A Gay Person
- An Asian
- A State Politico
- A Great Heart
The scourge of identity politics has so permeated our society that not a single one of these “legal experts” thought to recommend “A Good Judge.”
