It made me nervous personally because I don't like the idea of feelings influencing interpretation to the extent it makes law

I assume that happens constantly with all judges, whether they pretend it doesn't or not. If the law could be interpreted purely mechanically, we would feed SC briefs into a big IBM computer and let it spit out a result.

Our SC will continue to have four ardent conservatives and five moderates to liberals for the foreseeable future, which is a decent balance that kind of reflects the society they are judging for.

Of course, if they really reflected that society there would be five women and not just two.
